I recently read a post on another forum where photographers were ripping apart a newbie for not archiving images. They told him that he could not refer to himself as a "professional" if he wasn't willing to archive them.
So I guess my question is this....what do you tell your clients? It's my understanding that there is no such thing as true archiving. To date all digital files with NO exceptions are corruptible. I try and educate my clients on digital negatives....I explain that I will "archive" for a year barring no issues. This is by NO means set in stone which is also in my contracts from the get go.
Thoughts?
