How to backup only the photos in Picasa Albums?

1

I've got a lot of photos, ~100GB worth. Most of these are discards, I organize my photos with Picasa so I've got the best ones in albums (~10GB worth). I'd like to backup only these photos (it's to Dropbox, so uploading all of them is not possible), is that possible?

Use the built-in Backup Tool. You can select which folders and/or albums will be included in the backup

Create a new backup set and select Disk-to-disk backup. Then select your Dropbox folder as the destination.

Is there any way to automate this? – fredley – 2011-03-29T14:55:43.433

It's not possible to schedule it from Picasa. Unfortunately looks like there's no (known) command line options as well. Maybe sync to web is an option for you

You should be able to get Dropbox to only backup specific folders using a symblink.
