Your photos in a safe place. Backup strategies.

In the digital realm nothing exists unless it is in two places at once  This was one of the first things they told us in our first year of studies in computer programming in 1991.  Ask anyone who has had a hard drive crash and lost his photos and work, if it isn't in two places at once it is as good as not existing at all.  I've learned how true this statement is many years ago, and try to avoid loosing information at all cost.

One thing that comes up continually is people asking me about how exactly you would back up all your photos.  If you want to save your 10-15 mega pixel photos this post is probably not for you as in Picasa you can save for free up to 2048*2048.  This for me is big enough for backup purposes   This post is aimed at families that want to save and backup their photos to a safe place.
