Too Many Backup Locations!

When I get paranoid about losing all of my work, I make a backup. My computer has a total of 6 hard drives, not counting iCloud, pCloud, and OneDrive. I have three complete backups for my third Jimmy Jay book. Each one is a snapshot of the book at a particular date. That’s all good…until I start revising my pages in the wrong location.

Today I realized that I had created a new page in one of the backups. Then it occurred to me that I may have created other pages in one of the other backups. I went a little insane and started examining all of the images in all of the backups.

After a couple of hours I found 2 pages that were not in the Real Working Directory. The silver lining to my panic is that I examined the size of every file, looking for signs that a file had been changed.Some of the files are more than 400GB in size. That’s because I use a shit ton of layers. I have to get rid of the unused layers. When a page is finished, there should be one layer for line work, one layer for colors, a layer for texture, one for shadows, and one for the background,
