You’ve invested a lot of time perfecting your photos and setting up Lightroom to suit the way you work. What would you do if you woke up tomorrow to discover your hard drive had crashed and you had lost all of that work?
Hopefully you will never have to find out, but just in case Matt Dawson has released the TPG LR Backup plugin to simplify backing up your Lightroom environment. It does this by adding the ability to backup Lightroom’s configuration files, and compress Lightroom’s catalog backups, from within Lightroom itself. These tasks can occur automatically as the program starts or manually as required. Setup the automated backups to save onto a second disk and that hard drive crash would be much less painful to recover from than it could otherwise have been.
You can check TPG LR Backup out on the plugin’s main page.
