It is absolutely mandatory to establish a secure backup system for your digital photo collection. Even if it is a mess, backup your precious memories against disasters.
Goal: Set up a reliable backup system using the 3, 2, 1 backup rule. Always keep 3 copies of your photos and videos, on 2 different media, with 1 stored off site. Be sure to include all your devices.
