RE: [photoshop-beginners] don't forget...What is the Point?

Of course, if you are into serious photography, CDs and DVDs lack the capacity for storing the images, you need to use the latest terabyte drives.  Use a  Fire wire or USB (soon USB 3) docking station, and you can plug the drives in as if they were cartridges. Pop one in, fill it up, pop in the next one, fill it up, etc.  Get two to make is easy to copy one to the other.

yah, as even with only one back up, it is possible that the tower AND the in-house backup could fail.  The chances are probably fairly slim, but slimmer if 3 copies are in existence.  CDs or DVDs are pretty cheap as compared to the data one could lose....so even if you replaced your safe deposit set every 6 months, it's still cheap protection.

Well, you want two sets, you need one on hand for backing up to and for easy access, plus the one stored elsewhere.  A common place to store the other one is in  a safe deposit box, I have heard quite few professionals mention that ………

And the thing that most people forget about backup drives is that you really want to keep a set of backup files NOT in the same building as your tower.  By doing so, if you get robbed or the place burns, either way, all  your files are still gone....

I was so glad I had my backup drive when my computer crashed!  I was able to restore all my files, programs, etc. with no problems. I wouldn't be without one.

  Well, first and foremost, I use mine as backup, not sole storage.
 
 

Wherever you store your documents / data / photos,  never store them in 
 
 

only 1 place.
 
 

As for  durability /  lifespan, external or internal are about same, but 
 
 

if you use
 
 

your external as backup and don't leave it on all the time, should last 
 
 

much longer...
