How safe will your digital wedding images be?

All of your digital wedding images could be lost even if they are stored on one drive and backed up to a separate drive stored at the same location.

A burglary, fire, gas explosion, water leak or some other catastrophic loss that destroys one drive would destroy both drives.

The fail-safe offsite storage solution.

My image storage protocol includes three key steps:

1) The night that I finish photographing your wedding I download all of the compact flash (CF) cards we used to my primary drives.

2) I back up your images to my on-site archive drives that are kept offline and disconnected from all electrical power keeping them safe and isolated from viruses and voltage surges.

The images now exist in three places, the CF cards, the primary drives and the archived back up drives.

3) The first business day after your wedding, I pick up a fail-safe drive I keep stored at an off site contract lock box storage facility.

I bring the fail-safe drive back to the edit suite, back up all of your images to that drive and return it to off-site storage the same day.

Now, even if all of my on-site drives are damaged or destroyed, I can pick up my fail-safe drive, down load it to a new set of primary and archive backup drives and start right where I left off.
