[QUOTE="mrplow, post: 1431338, member: 38928"] You can retrieve individual files. The Time Machine app on your Mac accesses the Time Machine backup and shows you a Finder window and a date slider that lets you see backuped up files across the time period. When you delete something it won't be included in the next TM backup but it will still be there for some time (until the drive runs out of space to do a new backup then oldest backups are deleted first). However, this is not a long term archive type of backup. The easiest method is to copy your whole iPhoto library to the external. You can always hold option as you start iPhoto and this will let you select a library. You can then choose your backup and acess your photos. Alternatively you can open up the iPhoto Library 'package' and just copy the originals to an external. Or you can select the photos you want in iPhoto and export them to folders on the external drive. Another thing to consider is a full Super Duper or Carbon Copy Cloner back of your entire Mac to external. Lots of options [/QUOTE]
