gist VS BackDrop

gist - needs ruby installed.

I use Obsidian and want to incorporate it in with my Gist usage. Found this which might be helpful: https://github.com/defunkt/gist

P.S. My biggest peeve with Gist is the missing dark mode :(. Otherwise, I find that the ability to use Markdown and embedded images in my gist's actually covers most of my documenting/blogging use case. Obsidian will hopefully address the dark mode issue.

I made BackDrop to solve this. If I have, for example, two folders and two drives, and one folder fits on each drive, I don't want to fill one drive and then spill over to the second drive if it means splitting one folder between two drives. I want the cleanest way possible to copy data to as few drives as possible without splitting folders if they don't need to be.

Just leaving this here in case it could be of some use. https://github.com/TechGeek01/BackDrop

I wrote BackDrop a while back. While this was originally because I was looking for a way to backup to external drives where the data being backed up was larger than the drives, and required splitting between more than one drive, it's evolved since.

For manual copies, TeraCopy is awesome, cause you can have it verify files for you. I did actually write my own tool, though that was mostly so that I didn't have to think about handling not all files fitting on one drive (5-6TB of stuff, and a mix of 2-4TB drives). It may or may not suit you, but feel free to give it a look if you're interested. Currently it was designed to back up folders on a network share to a bunch of local drives, so unfortunately, it won't show local drives for source selection (though I'm working on making it able to do that).
