[QUOTE="aroy, post: 487003, member: 16090"] Backing up RAW files is easy. Not having LR, I think backing up the LR catalog may require you to copy to an external disk through LR. I have a few external USB drives, and I back up practically every day. As I have organized RAW date wise, it is pretty easy to copy the files. What you can do is . Buy a couple of 1TB external USB HDD. . See how long does LR take to copy/move the RAW files (with their catalog information) to the external USB drive. Start with 100, then 1000 to estimate time. If it takes too long, then just copy the RAW files to an external disk. . Maintain a mirror copy of the external HDD, that way if one backup disk fails you have a backup of backup. You may also go for a 2TB USB HDD, and configure LR to run from it. [/QUOTE]
