[QUOTE="Dan Connors, post: 1575066, member: 106832"] [b]Off site storage[/b] A few years ago, our house burned down. All of our photos and slides were lost. All of our digital copies were on the computers we had with us. We changed our behavior to this: 1. Every physical photo, important document, or receipt has a digital copy. 2. All digital copies are backed up using Time Machine. Plenty of comments on how to do that above. 3. We have a portable USB drive that we backup all computers in the house to, using Carbon Copy Cloner (but I'm thinking of using Time Machine for that as well). This backup occurs every Thursday. 4. The external backup drive comes with us when we leave the house. [/QUOTE]
