Jan 02, 2013 16:42 | #17 Ah...here's the snag, I don't know, because I don't use Lightroom. But I can see that this might be an editing software-related issue too. I use lowly Elements for now.

Wont Lightroom do what youre asking for with its save to backup location options? Lightroom backs up specifically its Catalog file, the .lrcat file ...an SQL-Lite database file which tells LR where to find each RAW photo file and what combination of edit actions to perform on each RAW file. LR does NOT cause the storage of a backup copy of each of the RAW files themselves. You need to give me OK to edit your image and repost!

That will give you hourly, daily, and weekly backups of everything without ever requiring any effort from you. Use Carbon Copy Cloner, Super Duper, or some other similar software to create backups or clones of your drive on your second external. Mark-B

LR does NOT cause the storage of a backup copy of each of the RAW files themselves. And I was referring to the Import dialog where you can specify a second (and maybe a third, Im not sure as I dont use the feature) storage location where you want the RAW files copied. Then yea I guess youd have to have your automatic backup pop-up backup your catalog to that second location as well when you do your regular LR backup. [Gear List | Flickr
