[QUOTE="Aptmunich, post: 87271, member: 3850"] Are you sure you're also copying the albumdata.xml file? I believe iPhoto maintains a database of your photos in there, so theoretically as long as you back up the entire folder it should work... Needless to say I haven't actually tried this, but it should work. I say it should work because iPhoto Buddy (a little utility that lets you select a different library folder than the current one) will open my backup of my library folder with iPhoto without any problems...
