U wanna do a search?
Just indicate the primary one.rncw said:how about for those who does multiple backups onto different medias?
Kit said:I've stopped using CD-Rs after some of them became unreadable after a few years and yes, I used the good ones. Bought 2 HDs with portable casings. So far ok. Hope it stays that way.
Errrr ... isn't that too late? Once crash, all your data may be gone.ST1100 said:i bought CD burner and DVD burner, but too lazy to backup. Waiting for my first major harddisk crash to spur me into action.
Yeah, was thinking about that too...but I've also heard CDRs are unreadable after 2 years or something like that even though they havent been touched. I'm hoping the DVDs are longer lasting.SniperD said:got to be CDRs for me... cheap and fast. May move to DVDRs but with 4.4G worth of pictures in ONE ROM..... kinda risky man... heehee..
just my thoughts
Whitesand said:Slightly OT:
When backing up to CDR etc, what do you guys backup?
I mean beside the original file downloaded from camera, do you save a backup a copy of your edited (say by photoshop) JPG file and the photoshop file too?
Anyone care to share how is the filing in directory/subdirectory or file naming used? There must be some systematic way to handle the ever increasing number of picture files.
Thanks in advance.
In the industry we call this ILM -- Information Life-cycle Management. Tell me about how technical it is.Darren said:Myself, I will have a three-tier storage strategy (whooo ... sound so technical) soon

1) DVD-R (this is the Master Copy)
2) CD-R (Backup)
3) HDD (this is more for easy looking-up once awhile)
