I use Aperture on a Mac, and here's how I do it:
Aperture handles the vaults seamlessly, and doesn't skip a beat if one is offline. I swap the bare drives back and forth as needed. At worst, I'll lose a few months of images (yes, I'd like to lessen that, but...). Hopefully, though, I'll have at least copied the best of them up to Flickr or iCloud, so I'll have something!
- Active Aperture Library
- Separate HD for RAW files (these are never touched)
- Separate HD for Vault (copy of the Library)
- Bare HD 1 for Vault local with the rest
- Bare HD 2 for Vault at a remote location.
