Adding backup CD-Rs to Lightroom...

Like many others, I backup every image that comes from the camera to a CD-R or DVD-R. The ''working'' copies of each image are on external hard drives. I have imported these hard drives into Lightroom and have noticed, to my delight, that thumbs and data are available for the drives that are not plugged in at the time. These thumbs take storage space. If I am looking in the right place, it looks like about 2000 images requires about 60MB.



Are the pros including their backups into LR or not? It would make finding backups much easier but would grow very large over years of shooting. Is there a way to maybe save a second database on another drive or some other alternative? What are you doing, and why?

Yes they are. Easy on a Mac. Some are having troubles with re-identifying Discs later on PC's. There are a couple thread (One anyhow) on this. A search of the forum for'DVD' should bring it/them up.
