[X4U] Back up photos in iPhoto

[Jim Warthman]

Why not get an external drive that's ~2X the capacity of the internal drive, and set up Time Machine to keep the internal drive backed up? That would take care of the photos and probably a whole lot more!

Enjoy,

Jim

The only problem is, if I export several hundred photos, they're all dumped into the same folder. I can't see any way to have it sort them the way they used to be. All sense of organization is gone.
