=========== Additional USB HD (with cases) are very cheap these days. Or you buy the portable case and add a drive. I have one I to back my photographs to and put in a safety deposit box. I am thinking of getting another one and having two rotating back ups going. I also have another one that isn't that portable, external SATA linked HD, that I store most of my photos on. But an USB HD will hook up to both laptop and desktop. Marnie aka Doe :-) And it's possible in LR to have different catalogues for different things, say different drives, though I haven't tried that yet. But it's possible. --------------------------------------------- We can't solve problems by using the same kind of thinking we used when we created them.
