For $99 you can get a very powerful program called Portfolio 5 from Extensis. It is avail for PC or Mac.  Very good documentation (it does come with a book).  

Has lots of features used by people with lots of images.

  Martin, if this is not an appropriate question for this list, feel free to
  kill the thread. I just don't really know which list is the right one for
  it, sooo.......

  I'm looking for recommendations of Mac based image cataloging and backup
  applications.

  Right now I have a couple of partitions on my hard drives where I dump
  images, and every once in a while I trash the backup and totally rewrite it
  from the main partition. It's slow and cumbersome for backup, and really a
  mess for finding images - especially for finding images on unmounted disks.

  I know the good cataloging apps will keep a reference of what is stored on
  which disks, but will they also help to synchronize my backups, so that only
  items that have been changed in my main partition will get rewritten to the
  backup? This would save me much time.

  As I'm not really using anything right now, I don't even know what features
  to look out for. So any recommendations regarding Mac based applications,
  and tips on a sensible workflow, would be very much appreciated. This is a
  mess right now.
