[quote mattkime]>>Maybe I can find a way via freeware or Automater that I can just copy the files to a folder on one drive, and that will automatically copy it over to the other drive.
Use SuperDuper. Smart Updates are quick. Also, the copy from Disk 1 -> Disk 2 would be slower than MacBook-> Disk 2 since both drives are on the same bus. $30 for SuperDuper is much cheaper than a $300 enclosure.
I need to keep the process as simple as possible. I'll be using it for storage of photos on location. If I keep them on the MBP's HD, it'll fill up. Plus when I go to build galleries from them it's a bit slow. So I want to get the files on an external HD for speed, but put it on two for redundancy.
I'm going to be getting media cards from a half dozen photographers, organizing them... I don't have much time and manually copying them to different locations is going to eat up time I don't have. The puzzle is complicated enough, so I'm trying to keep things really simple.
It looks like SuperDuper doesn't have any sort of automated system where, if files are copied to one location, it automatically copies them to another location. I either have to schedule it or push a button. Is that the case or am I just not seeing where it can make automated, non-schedule backups?
