Re: loading a backup

Do your two iMacs have access to a shared drive on your local network? If
so, maybe you could just keep all of the media files there (though you
would still want to back them up separately somehow) rather than having to
copy them between the two computers. You would just have to change the
media path in your preferences to point to the shared drive. You could also
have the Gramps backups written to the shared drive.
