Along with my new 27" iMac, I've bought a backup tool and am backing up a number of files/folders, one of them being my iPhoto file.  My only concern is that the file is huge and it's only a single file whereas it contains 1,000's of photos.  I read in MacWorld this month reference to an iPhoto user file and that got me worrying that if the worst was to happen would I be able to load the iPhoto file after I recover it from my external drive and see all of my photos - or do I need the user file as well?Hopefully the question is clear?</blockquote>
