I had my laptop stolen recently and have my iPhoto library backed up using Carbonite. I have been trying to restore it from Carbonite, however, at the rate it is restoring it will take months to restore. I have a locally backed up version of my iPhoto library from two months ago. What I want to do is just restore from Carbonite photos taken over the past 2 months and then I'll re-add those to the local backup I have. The problem I have is that I'm finding the iPhoto Library file structure really hard to navigate through and work out. Where would I find the photos from the past couple of months (it is under Masters?). Also where is the metadata I would have added when I imported them to iPhoto (file name, faces info, keywords etc.).

I've tried to find online something that explains the file structure without success.

Thanks,

David

What version of iPhoto? I have 8.1.2 (previous iLife release I believe) and all the photos are in a package named "iPhoto Library" in my Pictures folder. If I look in the package, there's an "Originals" and "Modified" folders in there with folders of the dates of the times I've synched with iPhoto, a folder for each time I've synched my camera. So just look for folders with dates newer than 2 months ago.
