Storing Your Digital Images
Posted by Suhit Gupta in "ARTICLE" @ 08:00 AM
"If you value your digital images, you should have a proper backup system in place. In this article, we will look at two storage methods and some backup tips so that you can enjoy your images not only in the short term, but also much further into the future. Magnetic Storage - Hard disks - If you store images on your computer, it is recommended to store them on a dedicated partition... Optical Storage - CDs and DVDs - If you burn for example 300 MB of images onto a blank 700 MB CD-R and "close" the disk, you will not be able to add information in the future."
Nice article from dpreview on tips for storing your images. Personally, all my images (almost 10K now) are sitting on a RAID-1 mirrored hard drive, with tape backups. This way, a number of things would have to fail all at once for me to lose everything. What is your backup strategy?
