Originally posted by Anthen I save my whole Lightroom library on an external hard drive. Its just so much more convenient and less headache with the whole space issue. Just out of curiosity, how much space do you have on your mac?
My Mac has 4gb of internal memory. Not a lot really! I bought it early in 2009, and I love it, but boy I'd love s new one too!

External hard drives are cheap. Think how you'd feel if you lost all your precious photo memories to hardware failure.
FWIW I have four back-ups. OTT I know.
Yes, I agree with you there. I've got one external drive that I back up to, and now a second drive, that has my iTunes library. Think I'll invest in at least one more, for photos.

So, as an extra comment to my original thread, how many of you also back up to the cloud, as another place to backup? Which service do you use? Why?
