Because of these things I have been a religious person for back ups in multiple places and media. The size of my archive is getting insane though. I am having to make a big change in how I handle things.
I have two of these
The first will hold old archived projects and the second will keep up with my present workflow.
Because I’m uptight, I’m working on a 4th location for stored data. (yes, forth, the third is my online server for the lab) Soon I will be expanding my online server space to incorporate a full backup of all my files on a secure server in another part of the country.
Yes, I probably need therapy, but I don’t ever want to tell a client or myself I can’t print something because the file is gone.
(This year I started giving my wedding clients DVDs of the finished images this year as another level of protection.)
