Maintaining file paths to referenced images

Jarvis

Featured Replies

I am developing a database that involves a lot of photography. In order to keep the file size manageable these photographs will be referenced images as opposed to imbedded images.

My general protocol for photography is to back up images on three different hard drives that are stored in different locations. I would like to do the same with this database.

I am confused about how to maintain the filepath link between database and referenced images.

If I were to create a folder that contained the database and referenced images, then copied that folder from hard drive to hard drive, would the the filepath links stay connected?

I don't know much about filemaker and the new i-pads. Would it be possible to utilize this database from an i-pad and still maintain references to images?
