PRO ADVICE

ONE YEAR PER DRIVE

I back up my archives annually onto a larger storage drive – so each year will have its own drive – and I also divide my images up into different genres. Although this means I need a lot of external drives, far less is at risk if a drive suffers a hardware problem. All my ‘finished’ edits (see page 46) are backed up online via SmugMug – this makes sure I have remote access to them and that the images are totally safe.
