Dual storage location tethered shoot
I see in the imports dialogue a option to back up to a second location , but I cannot see how you can get this to happen when shooting tethered?
Since the Sony camera does not save to card and indeed the tethered session works better with no card in the body, I am always nervous of only capturing to the capture folder only and would like a second copy on another drive.
Is this possible in C1 v10 or is there a workaround for a PC not a Mac?

one is importing, the other is shooting tethered...
take a look at

Thank you I am aware and indeed use Synktoy on a daily basis but you cannot set it up to auto sync a file folder as it is created a.f.i.k. 0 -
Bob thanks I still dont see how to get this to work and update as the shoot progresses, all this does is on a manual command copy .awr files only from A to B but its not auto incremental or am I missing something?? 0 -

the Echo option doesn't work immediately?0 -
no you have to instruct it to run it is not capable of recognising a new file has been added to the parent folder and suto transferring to the duplicate folder unfortunately. 0 -
bugger, that's a shame..
what about https://www.goodsync.com/ ?0 -
ok so

DSynchronize will auto sync!
Downloading and going to test it on my laptop too!0 -
Also look at Freefilesync it might work but I can't test till Monday

This looks promising.
is it possible to set up filesync to do the following?
when an image is added to a specific file folder direct from camera to copy that image to a second location, thus creating a back up folder that is as up to date as the original folder as the photo shoot progresses?
Not instantaneously.
But you can use RealTimeSync (RTS), that comes with FreeFileSync (FFS), for that.
RTS monitors one or more folders and its subfolders for changes, and upon detecting such changes launches FFS (or any other application you might define) to run a sync you have stored as ffs_batch file from FFS.0 -
DSynchronize looks like it ticks the boxes 😊 0 -
dsynchronize certainly does the job 😄 😄 😄 😄
PROS
it can be set to trigger at pc startup and background run.
you can select input and output locations or subfolders.
you can set it to auto update as images are added.
CONS
you have to set the capture folder path for each shoot although you could constantly use the same path the move the images later to selects or wherever but that means the same session for all shoots.0 -

A quick thought as I pass through here. Would creating a Session template for a shoot offer any advantage to setting up the folder paths more easily?

yes it probably would its not something I have attempted with c1 , but that sounds like a good idea, the trick to making the whole operation fully auto is to get c1 to download to a common named file that the sync software constantly looks at, can that be achieved by a template? 0 -

A standard session, designed with tethered shooting in mind, has a "Capture" folder into which tethered captures are deposited by default.
If the folder could be monitored and replicated for new files (making sure they are complete new files not something in the middle of being written) would that do the job?
Writing to a computer rather than a camera memory card should be robust enough (i.e.e it will either work or very rarely not work) that something like a scheduled task, run every 5 minutes perhaps, ought to be enough risk mitigation in most situations. That ans having a computer that is not entirely reliant on mains power alone.

As a long time Lightroom user now migrating back to Capture One Pro, this was a big issue for me, but it turns out that it's not a big deal, even though we have to find our own solutions to the backup problem.
Sure, Lightroom allows writing to the internal card on your camera whilst tethering, but it's silly slow. Annoyingly slow and one of the main reasons i'm moving back to C1.
But, when i'm on a model shoot and things are rolling fast and the client has a million things they want to squeeze into the day.. i need those shots backed up as we go..
So, after a bit of Googling i went with Goodsync.. very cool and very well made bit of software which instils confidence and does the job swiftly and with minimal overheads. You shoot, it backs up on the fly, automatically and smartly.
This is a nice setup and i urge anyone shooting tethered to check it out.
Very happy to be back with C1 btw.. really liking v10 and the speed... wow... Lightroom really is at a crawl when compared at the moment....0
