Yea, that is the whole point. Like I said I'm real lazy, the drive int he safe acts as a temporary 2nd backup of the RAWs and is done automatically on import into Lightroom. Once the Wedding is edited the job is archived onto another drive to be kept offline in the safe, freeing up more space for the next job and so on.

The thing I want is to always have at least 2 copies of the RAWs and 3 (one offsite) of the JPGs.

After a couple of years I'd be happy to go down to 1 copy of the RAWs for longer term archive.

Cheers
