phomme Posted March 23, 2017 Share Posted March 23, 2017 It is recommended, and a good idea to make a backup file of your RAW photos on an external drive or site, so if anything happens to the originals, you can always retreat your backup file, I know this but rarely follow up on, Last week my house was robbed. Along with my photo gear, they stole my laptop which contained a good number of my photos from this past Winter. I say a good number because I don't have a copy of all my images backup anywhere. My photo gear will be replaced, but some of my photos are gone forever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Limb Posted March 23, 2017 Share Posted March 23, 2017 So sorry to hear that. The principle of backup is best remember by 3 2 1 3 - Copies of every file - I do this as soon as the card come out of the camera 2 - Different medias that is at least two different hard drives used - as part of the out of camera backup routine 1 - Stored backup off-site Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Allan Bell Posted March 23, 2017 Share Posted March 23, 2017 Sorry to hear of your misfortune. My machine backs up to two twin hard drives each day automatically. Then I back up to a separate drive which is stored off site. Allan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
