Moving photos from DVD disks to NAS

Viewing photo information in Adobe Lightroom

  • Open the Photo Archive catalog in Adobe Lightroom.
    • Work on Windows since the iMac doesn't have a DVD drive.
    • Photos that are only on DVD will be marked as "missing" in the catalog.
  • Mount a photo archive DVD.
  • Find the corresponding collection for that DVD in the Lightroom catalog.
    • The photos for this DVD may or may not be located. Some of the DVDs were mapped to the G:\ drive when added to the catalog and some were mapped to the E:\ drive.

Copying photos to NAS

  • Open Powershell
  • For each directory on the DVD:
c:\> robocopy e:\ N:\photos\archive /s /xo /xx /xf *.xmp
  • robocopy parameters:
    • /s - Include subdirectories
    • /xo - Exclude if the file exists in the destination and is the same age or newer
    • /xx - Ignore files in the destination that don't exist in the source
    • /xf - Exclude files matching the pattern

Add the /l option to the robocopy command to do a test run.

  • Eject the DVD. Now the photos in the Lightroom collection corresponding to the DVD will be missing.
    • Click the exclamation mark at the top right of the photo thumbnail in the Lightroom gallery to locate the missing photo.
    • Find the photo file on the NAS drive.
