The software I use has a backup option where you can spit out an entire catlogue or any sub section to removable media (or an empty HDD) and it will also create a new catalogue on there which contains just the backup set - it's really rather cool. Glad you like the photos, been following yours via Ben Roberts for a while now. Ben I keep buying bigger hard disks :D And I delete a lot of stuff that’s crap.

Really enjoying your blog and this archiving method seems very decent - how do you cope when your catalog starts to get really big? Do you export to an external drive or DVD and then have that as a catalog as a saved reference (i.e. if you re-insert it you can continue editing the RAW files or what have you) P.s. if you are ever down in London or even further Brighton would be good to grab a pint I am jammy indeed, the 5D2 looks to be an awesome camera…

I myself, use Aperture and have done since the initial beta phase. The benefit of using Aperture is the library and management system, which is pretty damn impressive when it comes to finding, cataloging and ensuring images are all kept in place. Other benefit is that you can add a backup disk to Aperture and use that as a dump, so once all files have been imported and sorted/rated/stacked etc, i backup to my 1tb disk and then do a system-wide backup. Anal, but required :) Always interesting to see how others do it. I myself, use Aperture and have done since the initial beta phase.
