Lightroom DB on Multiple Computers
I haven't done too much research on this, so this is a somewhat open-minded question. Has anyone used Lightroom on multiple machines?
Basically, here's the deal - I have my images mirrored on my desktop and my laptop utilizing a software sync tool. What would be necessary to be able to have the Lightroom settings/info mirrored as well? Any documentation? Thanks.

Re: Lightroom DB on Multiple Computers
I don't really know...however, my guess would be that if you schedule Lightroom to do its backups daily you could use the backed up files on the mirrored computer. \
My logic is that, if the backup can be used to restore a deleted database, then there's no reason it couldn't be used to generate a library on another computer just my thoughts...haven't actually tried it.

Re: Lightroom DB on Multiple Computers
Move the Lightroom Database files to the same drive as your images are stored and mirrored.

Re: Lightroom DB on Multiple Computers
Quote:
what software do you use to do the mirror  I have been looking for this kind of software for a while. I have used norton ghost to do backups. but to easaly access those files after backups are made is a pain. I see with lightroom that it can automaticly make backups to another drive on import. The problem is, that if you rename the files say to a shoot name, when it makes backup files, it saves original name. not the new name that you renamed the file to. any advice on this?

Re: Lightroom DB on Multiple Computers
I use SyncToy and have had zero complaints with it.
