When I buy a new hard drive I format it to wipe all the unnecessary stuff off that comes pre-loaded and takes up space.

Photos can then just be dropped to it, yes.

However, since you're on mac you might consider an inexpensive little program called SuperDuper which will do the backup automatically in whatever schedule you choose.

Note: drag and drop won't make a bootable disc so if you want your backup disc to be bootable you must mirror or clone your main drive.

Hi all,

Have been following this discussion.
May have missed something - asking a question...

I am backing up my computers disk to an external drive.
Have a second drive I wish to move all the photos to, thus removing
them from the computer.
(I am aware of how this will affect back ups on the first external drive.)

My question is - is it really necessary to have additional software on
an external hard drive - can the
photos just be dropped on to it?

Many thanks for your replies!

If you duplicate your working drive on to new external drive then you will
get all the files needed for Lightroom ( I'm assuming your photo only
computer has everything on the C drive).

In Windows XP I know you can permanently assign letters to drives except for
C (and probably A and B).

In Windows 7  I don't know if one can.  Windows 7 lists drives with OS on
them as OS (C) and OS(F) and I have to check the size to see which one is C
since one drive is 1T and the other is 2T.   What I have done on my XP
computer is to create a folder that appears first on the drive that ids it
e.q.   AAA 80 Gig Maxtor so I always can check what drive I'm on. When
duplicating whole drives you have to create the folder each time you
duplicate it.
