  7. It never enough • Raid your Desktop drive • I have internal a SSD for the Windows OS 250GB • I run Acronis non-stop backup to a SATA Drive configured as Raid 1 Mirroring • I keep my images and all my data on another Raid 1 mirror set of 2 TB drives • I have two eSATA drives • One 3TB for all my data including images • One 1TB for an extra copy of just my images • I have two sets of these drives • One is keept off site • A relative that lives near by is a good choice for the 2nd set

  8. Best Practice • Rule of 3 • In backups also know as Grand Father, Father, Son • Always have 3 copies • One copy always off site • When Traveling • keep a copy on a portable drive and keep one with you at all times. • ( I travel with two 2TB portable drives plus my PCs internal storage) • Keep a external portable drive in a pocket separate from your camera equipment
