Saving virtual copy info

I am using DNG files as my original files and am able to do conversions on my desktop and pull that information on the original file up on my laptop via my network. The problem I am having is with virtual copies. I find creating virtual copies and being able to change each of them to a different conversion is a great option. I want to be able to retain the virtual copy information along with the original information. I understand this information remains in the library and can not be shared via a network. This is something I would very much like to be able to do.



With this understanding, how do you back up your file/library information so if something happens to the drive that contains the library you still have the all the virtual copy information?



My other question is: are the virtual copies in the library forever or is there a setting you have to change to not have it delete the information after a certain period of time.

The same way you back up your images (copy or use backup software to copy them to another media).

To answer your second question, VC's are only deleted if you delete them, OR if you delete the parent image they depend on.

So if I was to make a copy of my library, I could copy it to my laptop and have the information on the converions/virtual copies and such?
