Backup of images

Get help for specific problems

Anonymous

Hi,

I would like to do a backup of our family pictures. We all have our own
cameras/cellular phones and would like to backup all our pictures to a folder
on our NAS HDD.

But I see a problem because the camera name the pictures DSC00001, DSC00002,
DSC00003... so we end up with different pictures but with the same name. Can I
configure FFS not to overwrite the file but to rename it and add it to the
backup.

As an example, if there is a file called DSC00001.jpg in my backup folder on
the NAS and I have file called DSC00001.jpg in my camera. The name is the
same, but they are not (file size and date differ). Can FFS copy DSC00001.jpg
to the NAS and in the same time rename it to DSC00001_<date>.jpg?

Currently that's not possible. So you'd need a distinct folder on target drive
for each camera to avoid these name collisions.
