Take the 2-minute tour ×  I've got a lot of photos that are
taking up a lot of room on my laptop. I got an external HD for
the new photos and for the Lightroom database, but alas the
scratch disk is full. I'd like to set up a good strategy for
backing up files that are likely to be of little use and a bunch
of photos reliably.  I'm looking to pick up a new external HD to
format for Time Machine, and setting up a network enclosure with
data mirroring.  Any other ideas? would like to hear what others
are doing, especially photographers.  share|improve this
