[QUOTE="skybolt, post: 999150, member: 30261"] I agree wholeheartedly with this! I have multiple external hard drive backups, at different locations to protect my photos! Having said that, if all you want to do is to backup your photos, I'd simply copy the entire iPhoto library (with all the subfiles, etc.) (User>Pictures>iPhoto Library) to another media (DVD, external HD, etc.). That way, if you ever need to recover, you will have an intact library to simply copy back to your (new) drive. And, I also second the advice to stay out of the iPhoto library in finder! You can REALLY mess up your iPhoto if you do anything in there! [/QUOTE]
