I have a Macbook, backing up wirelessly through a 1T Time Machine to a Time Capsule. Also a 500G Western Digital USB drive attached to the Time Capsule. Backups of the Lightroom catalogue go there, and I manually copy my images there as well. I'm not comfortable with the way I'm using the 500G USB drive because everything except the backup of the Lightroom catalogue is done manually. I also wonder if I should have another drive in my setup. My ears pricked up when people here started talking about automatic synchronization across multiple disks. Is that something Time Machine could do, or is it limited to working with a single disk? All that said, am I safe enough? Take into consideration that I'm not a pro. I don't have very many images. Probably just a few thousand. Way less than 10,000. And I really don't have any that are valuable. A few that I like, and would hate to lose, but nothing that would be a financial loss.
