We all spent loads of time photographing our items. I take almost 70-80 pictures to finally choose a 5. So I would hate to lose all my effort in case my computer crashes. How do you all take back up of your pictures?
I back up using an external hard drive which you can purchase fairly inexpensively anywhere computer accessories are sold. They come in a variety of sizes (gigabites) so will hold tons of files!! I use one called "My Book." Hope this helps! :)
I use a portable hard drive as a routine back up - @ once a week - and then it lives in our fire safe. Once a year we do a video log of our house and property and add that with scans of our important documents and a copy of our back ups to a different drive and it lives in a bank box.
I backup to an external hard drive. But that wouldn't do much good in case of fire (if we weren't home to grab it), theft, etc. I want to also look into online backup service like Carbonite. You can also copy your photos onto CDs or DVDs.
