Many thanks for your response. This is my first foray into asking for help in this way, and I've only just worked out how to reply to you! Sorry it's taken me so long! Using the Time Machine Buddy I identified my iPhoto Library as the problem. Excluding that from the backup has corrected the problem. My next challenge is to wipe the smaller old external drive which was my backup disk and put all the photographs onto that, freeing up space on the computer to upgrade to Snow Leopard.

Thank you again for your help!
