HI;

thanks for a quick response !!!

I just read another thread that said:
-----------------------------------------------------
iPhoto and iTunes
I know this has had to be asked before, but could not find it anywhere:

I am using "Backup - all files" to backup my PowerBook. I like the fact that ". . . no files will be removed" yet I don't want to retain the iTunes files and the iPhoto pics I erase on my machine.

I usually erase files from iPhoto and from iTunes between backups. These are songs and pictures I will not need again. So when I do a backup, the songs and pictures I have erased, remain on my external hard drive. I find myself going in manually after each backup to erase from the external those songs and pics I have erased from my machine.

How can I make SD erase from my external drive the iPhoto and iTunes files I have erased from my machine since last backup and at the same time keep all other files I have deleted (the ones that are not from the iPhoto and iTunes libraries) In other words, I want a true copy of my iPhoto and iTunes libraries but not of the rest of my hard drive.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------

This may solve my question :

Are you saying that if I backup to the external HD my iTunes and iPhoto and then remove some of the songs and photos that they will stay in the External HD if i do not manually remove them. ?
What if I do a or a smart update ??

This is the first external HD I have had, I know, i know it was crazy not to.

Greg
