| Immediately Backup Your Photos SUMMARY: When you are done taking photographs with your digital camera, immediately save those photographs to external media!
Listen. Stuff happens. Computer hard drives die. Digital media might get damaged. Computer viruses and spyware attack. The wrong pictures get deleted. Any of these things can occur, causing you to lose your precious photographs.
Don't let it happen to you.
As soon as you get back from a vacation or photo shoot, copy all of your digital camera photos to your computer, then immediately back them up to offline storage, such as ZIP disks, CD-ROMs, or DVD-ROMs. Make a second copy of your photos as well and keep them separate from your primary copies, and hopefully you won't have to panic about your digital camera pictures when that - something - occurs to your primary storage.
