It hard to backup , if use just one directory to save a image uploaded

[nmt12]

Hi all !!

I have a site with many member and add a lot of pic ( it must be to hundreds of thousand pic ) , and offcourse , the /image directory of srcipt it heavy 100gb of HDD . That is so hard to bakup and make the web so slowly if too much pic was uploaded

How can transfer or save pics uploaded to another dir ??

Or can be we change the dir to save pic to /image/DATE ( with DATE is the day of pic uploaded )

Ex : Multi pic uploaded in 24/10/2011 , all off them must save to /image/24102011

Thanks for helping

If you use 200 dirs or 1 dir is the same in terms of backup time. The thing is that using a lot of folders won't make the backup process more faster, although we are in the backup scenario using SSH... just a insane guy will backup using FTP

totally agree with Rodolfo Just crazy guy would backup with FTP

Actually it would save time if all images were in dated directories because you would only need to back up each folder once according to date. So everyday you would only need to back up the images uploaded on that day and not the entire folder over and over again.

argree with this ideal !!

Or we can add date,time ....in the link of pic , so when we backup , just backup the data of day we have not yet backup

Erp.. you can actually backup with date arguments using ssh.
