Liz Castro Upgraded to iPhoto 11 and Lost Her Entire Photo Library

She’s OK, because she had a full backup and was able to revert to iPhoto 09.

Everyone who reads Daring Fireball performs full and regular backups, right? Get a big external hard drive or three and use Time Machine or SuperDuper (or both). Drives fail, software has bugs. If you don’t have good backups you will eventually lose something precious.
