Back up your photos!

I do…which is the only reason I will be able to tell my wife, when I get home, that all the pictures our various relatives took at our wedding are safe and, you know, still in existence.
As opposed to having a more awkward conversation instead.
My current backup scheme is probably not ideal but it is effective, at least. I stuff everything onto optical media (gold-layer DVDs, in fact) as I edit it, and I’ve just started backing up all my photos (RAW files and edited JPEGs) to a large external hard drive as well. I have fallen behind in using the family website
as a third backup repository…although in this case, it’s the web-based copies of the photos that saved my butt.
Nothing was lost (amen!)…thanks to backups.
Back up your files! I’m not going to tell you again! Actually, I probably will tell you again…but you should still be backing your files up.
