Love this shot… It’s an old photo (last year) of Isabel and her new kicks. I posted it as I went looking for this photo again…  Despite backing up my photos in several places, I somehow deleted (my fault) the original file, and all that remains is a low resolution version I emailed at one point 🙁

To keep my photos safe I have a working copy, a back up on a local hard drive, and an offsite backup via a service called CrashPlan.  Rather than go into detail, check out this article describing a very similar strategy.

A backup plan like this guarantees your photos will be safe… unless you drag them into the trash, as I did.
