Ingest to more than two destinations.

Basically what the subject line is.

When ingesting, it would be great to be able to back up two external hard drives rather than just the one. Therefore when you leave the job, you know you've got your images in three places, rather than having to remember copying the job onto the other back up folder.

Done in exactly the same way as it's currently set up for the Secondary location.

Cheers

Not a perfect solution, but you might look for a third-party program that automatically mirrors files from one location to another.

My NAS has software that does this, so I ingest the files to the local hard drive, then it copies them to the NAS in the background.

Because it's a background process, I don't have to wait for the copy to finish before I move into culling and editing.

You're trading the security of knowing you had two backups to get started sooner, but I'm always on the computer long enough for the sync to complete before I wrap up, so it's worth it.
