Do you backup your photos?

[Will]

Do you backup your photos (digital) on to a separate hard drive or a cd or dvd?

I dont I probably would if I was better or something.. I just keep them on my computer.

What about you?

Hah, I dont have to.. the chance of my Mac crashing, or deleting them is slim to none.

All my trust in is my grea little laptop..

Have I mentioned how much I like macs?

Most computers have a pretty slim chance of deleting your photos, but there always is a small chance it may happen

Well for my mac its not worth the time of backing them up.

Cause it aint deleting them

It ain't the Macintrash, it's the hard drive. Being electromechanical, HDDs have a finite lifespan. When they die, it ain't pretty. Want a couple of dead HDDs from Macs? I have a pile of them in my office - they make great reminders that the ONLY way to safeguard data is with MULTIPLE backups.

We backup EVERY job to dvd or cd BEFORE we start editing images - the keepers as well as the throwaways. Once the job is edited, 2 more dvds or cds of the completed project are made. This also goes for jobs that are shot on film , scanned, and post processed in Photoshop. If it's a big job, I'll do a partial backup during the editing process in case a drive crashes mid-project.

Trusting in ANY hardware is nuts...

Ah well at the moment I have not the time or the patience to burn a backup CD of a two thousand photos........

My laptop will be fine its two months old

It doesnt take that long!

Believe me, and my years of mistakes, never trust your computer.. no matter how much you love it.
Seriously though, its a little weird that you love your macintosh so much!

Now go and spend a few mintutes and backup your photos! (You could do that instead of posting for a day ver think of that?)

Haha, I appreciate your concern, but really, Im sure my mac will hold em fine!
