Backup, Backup, Backup
In their latest article Digital Outback Photo urges everyone to backup their photos, and presents their own specific way of doing this using Wiebetech drive bays and Hitachi disk drives.
“Some people say that disks are getting cheaper and cheaper per GB. True, but the needs for storage grow even more. Here are some of the reasons:
- Cameras have higher pixel count
- Resulting images get stored in 16bit
- Photoshop layers add even on top
- The need to have multiple backup versions of your files
It is very clear that you need external storage disks to handle the flood of images.”
