Keep in mind the VALUE of your photos. If you value your photos so much that
you just CANNOT lose them, make sure you have the backups REALLY covered. I
have thousands of pictures starting at around year 2002. I have all the
pictures on one of my internal drives. Then, I have a backup on a pull-out
drive (hard drive racks that pull out from the tower). And, then, I have a 3rd
copy on CD/DVD. I generally do the backups every couple of weeks. I take a lot
of pictures. These are pictures I just cannot lose... birth of my son, birthday
parties, important gatherings... you get the idea.
Point is... hard drives go bad and CD/DVDs go bad. Make sure you have that
covered.

Hi Jo-Ann,
I rename all the photos I store on my computer.
Create folders within the photo program you use.
I have at least one folder for each year, and sub folders within it for=
Family, Cars, my last holiday<G> etc.
CDR disk are quite inexpensive, less than $0.25CDN each.
burn your photos to the CD right after down loading for back up purposes.
You never know when a hard drive may fail.
I fill up the CD by backing up the older folders to bring it up to the 650=
to 800 mg that they hold.

I am a picture nut, especially since I've got my digital camera. I have one
partition on my computer just for pictures. Occasionally I back them up to
CDs. Here's my question. I have like 10 gigs of photos now, taking more all
the time. How can I avoid backing up the same pictures over and over, yet
not miss any of the new ones?
