New: Backup or Die – How to Keep Your Photos Safe (Click to Learn More)

Imagine you’re a professional wedding photographer, and you’ve lost the photo of a couple’s first kiss. Imagine how they will react, how you’ll feel, and how it will affect your business.

Now imagine losing photos of your own children or your family members. Think about how it would feel to know that you could never get those images back.

A while back I learned this the hard way when I had a folder of travel/vacation photos on a Mac suddenly become corrupt, rendering them unreadable with no backup copies. I had never heard of corrupt files before but have since heard other stories since I started sharing mine. Have you ever lost any important photos? Please share on our Facebook or Google Plus.

A solid backup plan involves multiple types of backups to be effective. No single strategy alone can protect you from all the scary threats out there. The backup plans outlined in this ebook are separated into three levels, with increasing amounts of security. The first two levels are a good start, but there are gaps. The third level gives you the most protection, but requires more work to set it up.
