[QUOTE="CreativeGuy, post: 404013, member: 28024"] If you have a newer Mac with a dual-layer DVD burner you can burn up to (I believe) 8GB to a single DL disc. If you don't have one, then you can just divide up the entire iPhoto folder in your home folder to fit on two sep discs. But keep this in mind: iPhoto stores your ORIGINALS and any REVISIONS you've made such as cropping, sizing, enhancements, rotations, etc. If you've done a lot of that stuff to your images, then you have two copies in the iPhoto folder. You will notice that inside your iPhoto Library folder that you have "Originals" and "Modified" folders. The most important thing to remember when burning a backup of your library is to backup the files in the iPhoto Library folder that aren't images as well. Those files contain the info for your albums, dates, comments, etc. [/QUOTE]
