Back up photos - these tips should be noted
With our tips below, photos are guaranteed not to get lost:
- In order to have as many photos as possible in the event of loss, you should make a backup regularly. We recommend an interval of one week.
- For security reasons, you should select different locations for the backup. We recommend a backup on the hard drive, USB stick and, if necessary, in the cloud.
- Alternatively, you can burn the photos to CD or DVD. The data medium must then be stored in a cool, sun-protected place.
- The safest method is to print the photos. So you always have the pictures at hand in the event of a digital loss.
- If you want to work with the photos, you should copy the original file and work with the copy. So you are on the safe side.
- Also check each backup to make sure all photos are still there. Over time, the storage media can be damaged, causing data to be lost.
