This sounds really geeky. But I hate loosing files. When people say their laptop went down with their family photographs (not backed up anywhere) I get so sad. It’s like a fire wiping out a closet of prints and negatives.

But it’s super preventable! In the fire and film example, you’d have had to print duplicates, sort them and send them to your second home. It’s even more trouble to duplicate the negatives.

Now, you don’t even have to have a second home! Duplicating the digital photograph and putting it on another drive is so easy! That’s one backup. Drives (that are relatively large) can start at $40.00 and you can get them at a “normal” store, not even a computer-only kind of store. That’s not too scary!

When you get really large files from a large sensor digital camera, the back-up process gets a little more robust.

So fun! All those photos are safe and fun to review in digital form. Now to tackle my piles of film negatives in the name of redundancy.
