Mirror was probably the wrong word to use. That EHD is an exact copy of the directories on my C drive. In other words, I have to copy the stuff to it, it doesn't do it automatically. I have a system though (tracked by a spreadsheet) that whenever I download photos from my cameras or purchase kits, I record them on the spreadsheet. As soon as the kits are unzipped, they are copied to that EHD as are the photos when they are downloaded. So I then have a 2nd copy right away. I record the date I did it as well. There are 2 other columns to record the date when those items were backed up to the other 2 EHD's. This way I know exactly what still needs to be backed up. It took longer to set up the EHD backups the first time since everything needed to be copied over. Now it is just the new stuff. Several hours is all it takes.
