Where do you store your pics? Not necessarily as a backup, just everyday, for accessing to edit or view. But also for having all your pics in one place. I have three internal drives, one just for pictures and nothing else.

rhys Dis-Membered  5,351 posts Likes: 2 Joined May 2006 Location: Columbia SC More info | Dec 31, 2007 13:22 | #8 I load photo processing software on all my computers. I put the files on a portable hard drive and save them to DVD as well. The DVDs go into a fire safe and the bank (2 locations). The hard drive is in my laptop bag. When I fill the portable drive I'll buy another and put the old one in my fire safe. Rhys

I then have a seperate (still internal) 250gb which I use to backup just the raws. I then periodically backup the raws to DVD just in case.

Iowa, USA. More info | Dec 31, 2007 21:35 | #11 I have an internal 750 GB drive that contains data, photos, videos, work, etc... All music is on a second 750 GB drive. I have 2 750 GB media drives that I use as backup for the data drive. I keep one off site and the other in the computer. Once a week I switch. The music rarely gets backed up as it only costs me money and can be redone. I do back it up to a 750 GB drive once a month. Doc Klepper in the USA

But your back up should not be what you use for everyday viewing and working on. 7D MKII ■ 10-22 ■ 15-85 ■ 28-135 ■ Σ 50-150 ■ 70-200 f4L ■ 100-400L ■ 580EX II
