Storing digital photo's
What is the best way to store digital photo's?
Right now I have my photo's on CD's, but have been told that is actually not the best way to store digital photos. The same person told me that an external hard drive is the best way to store them. What is THE BEST way to store digital photos? They are my PRIZED POSSESSION and the first thing I would save in a fire. They are VERY important to me. Having lost a years worth of photo's due to a computer crash, I am scarred for life and want them stored the best way possible. Thanks! I wanted to ETA that my photo's are the first thing I would save in a fire AFTER my family.

Re: Storing digital photo's
I have an external hard-drive (well 2 actually, in case one fails) You can get them as big as a Terabyte, so will hold thousands and thousands of photos.

Re: Storing digital photo's
So do you have a copy of each picture on both external hard drives?

Re: Storing digital photo's
External hard drives here as well.
We keep copies on the computer and on cd's for easy access. We keep one set of hard drives in the study and one in storage in the garage. The garage is not attached to the house so the likelihood of both burning down in a fire (also my greatest fear) is unlikely. |

Re: Storing digital photo's
We use an external hard drive as well.
I also have a bin of regular film pictures (heavy), and I have always told dh that these puctures are very important to save in the case of a fire/flood etc. Although, we have never lost any before. These as well as the file folder with all our birth certificates and important papers. Except that all of these things are in differnet parts of the house......... I need to get more orginaized. |

Re: Storing digital photo's
I've scanned all our regular pictures, like the ones before the digital era , and put all those on the eternal hard drive.

What's wrong with saving photos to CD's? I have mine on three different computer hard drives, and CD's as a back-up. A very few I put on CD and keep in a safe deposit box at the bank. |
