Lately I've been thinking about the importance of backups. It never hurts to have a backup plan for a lot of things in life, but today I'm specifically talking about backing up things on your computer. Many of you probably think this is only something important for people who make their living working on computers. After all, you just use the computer to get on the internet, check your e-mail, and pay your bills. Oh, and download all your family photos and videos...
Back in the day (as if it was a really long time ago) everyone used film and got the film negatives when they developed their pictures. Ha! Gone are those days, everybody lives the digital lifestyle now. Instead we've got all our photos and videos living as 1's and 0's on our computers hard drive. What happens tomorrow when you flip on the power to your computer and your hard drive doesn't want to cooperate? Personally I don't want to leave it up to the Geek Squad to rescue me. No offense to the Geek Squad, it's just that there's no guarantee they'll be able to restore my data, and I don't want to take chances with something this important.
I can promise you that backing up files on your computer is easier than you think, and tomorrow I'll talk about how to do this. Not only that, I'll show you how we backup all our files for every single client we photograph. Stay tuned!!!
