I like to backup my favorite photos on PRINT
you can get archival grade prints that will last a LONG time and resist fading in the sun and all that jazz.
for your computer stuff...
i direct you to the attached file.
but really, for backing up in digital format you have to do it like three times at least if you want to be real about how secure the backup is. i like to give clients archival grade dvd's as part of the battle against time. you can get 100 yr archival disks....or more.
but let's face it: we take photos to preserve memories...and we want to preserve them forever. forever is a damn long time. so lets just try to hit the 200yr mark for now (ok maybe 300)
make prints.
