I am trying to do some logical backups of all photos and videos from my MacBook Pro to two external hard drives (Iomega and My Passport). I have my full Time Machine backup on the Iomega. I also want separate photo/video folder backups on both.
When I do a search using Finder of my Iomega HD, it does not find any videos! Also, when looking through my IPhoto Library (after selecting Show Package Content), I see no videos on my computer! Yet, after digging around to find one particular May video, I can now see that video and some others created over six months, but they are all listed in the folder for that one May video (even though I have settings for showing by Date Created). Yet no other folder anywhere in my Masters folder (on either my computer or my external hard drives) shows ANY movies.
Yet in iPhoto, I can see all my videos. I am afraid to clean any videos off my computer when I cannot even tell if they are safely backed up elsewhere. And why can't I even see these videos on my computer using Finder?
Thanks for any help!
