Backup copy issue

Drag and drop. Nothing but photo files.

Backup copy issue

I Put all my LR Folders onto a 2tb Seagate External hard drive from my Apple Laptop. I bought another Seagate external hard drive to backup the HD #1. When backing up #1 to #2 the transfer stops part way through the transfer and indicates the transfer can't be completed because an item in a file is in use.
I started all over again but instead of trying to transfer all of my files, i decided to break it down and transfer individual files, one at a time. The same note came up and when searching for what was open, it was from a file that I wasn't even trying to copy and was a couple of files ahead in my file que. Before starting the transfer process I made sure nothing was in use.
Any thoughts what is happening and how to proceed?
Right now I have all my files on one hard drive and am very nervous.

Backing up pictures

Can someone suggest software which will backup my pictures and then add only new ones when I backup the file again? And if I delete some pictures from the file will the backup also delete them? Thanks for your help.

When closing Lightroom I get an inquiry to backup to my hard drive (Mac laptop). I always back it up. Am I getting duplicate backups and storage issues, or just the newest or updated files? Is there a problem with deleting old backups?

I need a bag and have essentially the same lenses but a d810. Do you find the over the shoulder to be a hassle? Do you have to set it down every time you set up a shot? What are it’s dimensions?

I use two 2 TB SSD portable HDs. One as primary and one to get the a duplicate copy of everything. They get reformated when I return home and have everything safely stored.

I understand the point of putting the trip on drives but my real issue is my storage is almost maxed out on my laptop. What can I do when I get home?

Do you mean 2-4 TB?

Buy a 2 to 4 GB outboard SSD drive to store images. Also buy enough Camera memory cards to save all your images without erasing them. You need a backup.

I have a big photo trip planned and my Mac laptop has only 15gb of storage left. I’m concerned I won’t be able to download each days worth of raw files.
Any ideas besides getting a new computer?
