How important are your photos to you? What would the impact be if you were to lose all the photos stored on your PC?

For professional (and serious amateur) photographers, there could be a financial impact, and for all photographers, losing all your photo memories could be devastating!



Do you backup your photos regularly? If your only copy of photos is on the hard drive of your computer, there are many ways in which they could be lost, including:

• the hard drive in your computer could crash or fail
• a virus can delete or corrupt photos
• your PC could be stolen
• someone could accidently over-write or delete the photos

You might think the chance of one of the above is so small that it will never happen to you. That is being a bit naive - people do lose important data regularly, and it could happen to you when you least expect it!
