So, I'm primarily a MAC user at home, a PC user at work - which doesn't matter now as Lightroom is both pc and mac... But, I have a partner who is PC, which is fine, but, she wants access to my full photo library from the last seven years - no problem, over a hundred thousand images, but that's fine - plenty of disk.
The problems start when I decide I don't want her accessing my main library (The working copy) as A: most of it is in "RAW" format, and B: I don't want any edits deleted etc (Library damage by a ...non user, if you know what I mean) ...SO, I need a solution
I have my MacBook Pro that I cart around everywhere, I use this to ingest my files straight from my CF cards, through lightroom, onto my G-Raid Mini 1tb... I have a 1.5tb G-Raid that I use to backup both my MacBook and my G-Raid Mini - so, that's all fine... BUT... I've purchased a 500gb Western Digital My Book 500GB drive for Michelle, but, somehow I have to get the library to replicate onto her drive so that she sees the same photos and the same Lightroom library without her touching mine...
That said, I don't have a "network" as such but, could do I guess...
Thoughts?...
The ideal photo library : Does it exist?

hmmm.....surely the the best catch-all is to keep the library on a network drive you both have access to and have that backed up at regular intervals (via raid or whatever)....
