One of the most important habits every photographer or filmmaker should develop is a robust backup strategy to keep your files safe in the event of a hard drive failure or disaster. If you haven’t created your files yet, check out this helpful video tutorial that will show you how to keep all your files safe.
Coming to you from Gordon LaingThis awesome video tutorial will show you how to back up photos and videos properly. One of the most common mistakes people make is creating multiple backups but keeping them all in the same physical location. While this will protect you if the hard drive fails, if something happens like a fire or flood, you will most likely lose your data. This is why all good backup strategies strongly advocate an offsite backup. If you have good upload bandwidth, a cloud service can work fine. I use Backblaze, and at $6 a month for unlimited storage, it’s hard to beat. Whatever you choose, make sure you keep your work up to date. Check out the video above for a full rundown from Laing.
