That helps immensely, Spencer.  At first reading, I think I probably 
need a drobo.  I did have an enclosure for 4 disks but it didn't 
include any kind of backup.  It was just a bunch of disks.  Those are 
obsolete since they were about 200GB each. ;-) Now I have several 1T 
and several more 750 GB, but they are all Seagate FreeAgent external 
hard drives.  I'm backing them up with the Seagate Memeo, which saved 
me $1900 when one drive failed.  It's supposed to be totally 
automatic, but I don't entirely trust it since I never know when it 
is working and when it is paused.  It had paused and I had to 
reproduce one week of work but had the previous 2 months saved.

Now Peter Krogh (DAM book author) is saying that you should keep two 
catalogs of everything - one in Lightroom and another in a more 
robust catalog software like Expression Media.  GRRRR.!!  I had 
everything in Expression Media (formerly iView) and switched to 
Lightroom.  If I have to keep two catalogs of everything, I'll have 
to double my storage space.  This is all getting to be 
ridiculous.  I'm beginning to like my file cabinets of negatives and slides 
;-)
