Backup library doesnt seem to contain any of the *.mov files that were imported to iphoto. I used a simple copy from finder to drop box and then went to win7 computer to copy to folder to win 7 pictures folder. When I browsed it there were no mov files there.

Where are you looking? You realise that the iPhoto Library is not designed for access from WIndows, righti
Can you export one from iPhoto?
File -> Export: Kind Original

I just recopied it to my public\dropbox folder I realize now that I did not finish copy to that folder on the mac before I copied and pasted it on my win machine which is my backup target...it has a terabyte of storage. My real problem is that the mac is not allowing me to copy folders directly to shared folders on the target I have to go to the win machine and navigate to the dropbox in order to copy files. Finder gives the error that some of the items I want to copy I do not have permission to read from even though I reset permissions and checked the files info. I did read in some of the posts here that exporting creates hassles when backing up the library so I stuck with simple copying from the finder.
What exactly are you trying to back up?
The entire Library? Just the Photos?
Exporting creates no hassles when backing up a LIbrary, it's just not way to back up a LIbrary.
