Sorry to hear, Charles--had a few boo-boos similar to this myself--I used to
spend time cleaning closets like women do sometimes--but now I've the option
of hard-drives, and I get over zealous sometimes--I think it's time to get
my back-up program down for those zealous moments. Christine

Well, fast-forward to yesterday when I'm poking through my Lightroom
library. Lightroom thought that my 2008_May images were
still on the
harddrive (they were not) so I went to tell LR that the images were
now on this disk over here.... but that disk image was empty. In a
stunning triple oversight, the two DVD images were perfect
duplicates
of the empty disc image.

This is just a tale of caution. Be consistent. Check your
backups.
Make sure you really know what you have where. (sigh). I
just had to
tell someone who might understand just how disappointing this all is
to me.
Oops.
Well, I've been dicing with disaster for a while now by not having a
viable
backup for my photographs, so I intend to buy a network drive to use as my
main photo storage, then use the current usb drive as the backup, plugged
into the network drive. I've no current plans to do any offsite backups,
but
portable drives are so cheap now that I may buy 2 or 3 to rotate as weekly
offsite backups.
Most of the Lightroom books that I've seen contain good, simple advice
about
backup strategies - well worth following.
