Depth of Field

It’s officially the first full day of summer, and that means that it’s time for me to do a quarterly “dump” of my hard drive.  I transfer all of my photos to an external hard drive, and then pray that nothing ever happens to that hard drive.  The helpful woman at the computer store suggested that I back up my back up with yet another external hard drive.  But where does it end? How many back ups do you really need? Should I also keep everything on disc, in some sort of library? Maybe have a big shoebox full of thumb drives?  I’m not sure of the best way to back up my photos, but for now, I’ll stick with what I am doing.  I’m sure the woman at the computer store would be cringing and wrinkling her nose at me, but for someone who already has way too much “stuff”, having duplicate stuff seems like overkill.
