its always good to have a separated device for backup. the computer could crash and fry the drives with it. its nice to have a remote backup and (if you have a mac) time machine with the time capsule works great because its networkable and can be anywhere in your house separate from the computer. just something to think about. those 44000 pictures are worth more than the $299 the capsule costs.. id get it..

there is nothing wrong. the initial backup takes a while then from there on in it is faster and only does parts of it so when it trys to recover it puts together pieces. nothing wrong
