Save Those Holiday Memories
As autumn closes in on the northern hemisphere we can all recall the happy memories of summer breaks spent with family and friends. Many of those memories have been captured with digital photography making them easy to browse on a camera or PC. However, these prized digital images are also vulnerable.
Traditional photo printing is on the decline so the only copy you may have of your irreplaceable photos may be on the hard drive of your PC or worse, still on the camera's memory card. Now is the time to organise your photos to ensure that they are saved for you and future generations to enjoy.
First, make sure you copy your photos from your camera's memory card to your PC. To do this either: remove the memory card from the camera and plug it into the PC; or use the cable provided by the camera manufacturer to attach the camera to the PC (usually via a USB or firewire port). Then follow the operating system or camera software instructions to copy the photos to the photos folder on your PC.
Now that you have a copy of your photos safely stored on your PC, you need to make a local backup to a second hard disk drive, network drive or to removable media such as a thumb drive or DVDs. This will protect your photos against accidental deletion, virus corruption or the hard disk drive in your PC failing.
But what if your PC and external hard drive are stolen, accidentally damaged or destroyed by fire or flood? This is where remote backups come in. Using remote backup software you can store your photos off-site therefore protecting your precious memories from every eventuality.
