I know the feeling and I don't have as many photos as you folk Some years back I had a hard drive die on me . A friend managed to save my bacon that time and gave me a rocket about backing up . Then after we had transplanted a new hard drive into that machine, the motherboard died :( Now I bac...

My 35mm film negatives which are 25 years old sit in their folders and are probably more secure than the digital data If they are black and white and have been archivally processed, definitely. If they are colour negatives the dyes fade at different rates and after 25 years the colours may be a ...

I have several CDs with images from my old OPTIO, trouble is they were burnt as archive files under win98 and now I can't read them!!! I had a new external drive die and take ALL my backups and some new stuff to digital heaven. A 2 month old SDHC card refuses to give me my files from my K200d...

so, as a quick question: a) how fast is your DSL upload? b) how much data do you create a month? c) what would it be worth to be able to send a (filled) disk somewhere and have it available via internet? The prelim issue is seeding (i.e.. the upload of data even with a 2MB upload speed i...

I do use a local back up hard disk drive but also back up any photographs that I don't want to lose to an online account. In my case I use SmugMug, with which I am very happy. Normal accounts which cost little allow uploads of up to 12MB per file, and if you pay extra for a Pro account then the...

I have a 1Tb external drive, and 2 500Gb external drives. I transfer all the pictures onto my other laptop, and backup onto my 1TB and one of the 500Gbs. The other 500Gb is stored offsite, and monthly updated from one of the other drives. Really important photosets are also backed up onto DVD, an...

Do you use archive quality DVDs RD? I have some ordinary ones which have not lasted 5 years.

No, I will confess that I don't, on the other hand, the ones that I have used seem to have held up well to date. What brand were your ones? The ones I have used are a mix of Verbatim, Maxel and Sony. Having said that, even the cheapie own brands have behaved well to date. I have disks and files b...

Ok, I am looking at this thread for the time it has been posted. Call me a geek but I am missing here something and be shocked to learn that most back up either a HDD or a CD/DVD. As most of you may (or may not) know CD's and DVD's have to stored correctly because the memory layer has organic mate...

...trouble with RAID is that it just increases the chance of having discs fail, which are tedious and expensive to replace. RAID is not a backup system, it is for Resiliance and speed. Resiliance is not backup, it just means a system keeps on working whilst the failed part is replaced. p.s. the ...

I had a mate a few years back. Backed up from HDD to another every night as his sole backup. Computer caught fire one day, melted both the drives, lost everything. 24TB of RAID in one cabinet?

Am I really the only one that makes use of one of the best backup system there is? No, you are not. You'll find that RAID is championed by many on here. Search the forum for 'RAID'. My own system consists of 3 desktop PC's, 2 laptops and a netbook. None of these is used to store any of my valuabl...

RAID, Redundant Array of Inexpensive Disks. The clue's in the name, as Flossie says, it's not a backup method in and of itself, it's merely a method of providing redundancy to a storage setup. This redundancy can be used for either error protection or speed depending on the setup (mirrored or str...

p.s. the warrantee on a harddisc is useless, you don't get the data back, you just get a new (blank) drive. OK, I can se where you are coming from but it is a backup system of sorts as you will not loose any data. As for a Samsung 1.5TB drive I got actually not only the drive replaced but also a ...

Unless a failed drive is buried deep inside a machine, they are not tedious to replace at all. As for being expensive to replace, I've never yet had to pay for a replacement HDD as all have failed within their 5 years warranty period and have been replaced FOC. For that reason, the warranty is fa...
