What is your dig back up plan - how much is enough?

But if we're referring to backing data up:

This is a great idea, but a bit hard to keep up with I think...too many moving parts.

Something 'moves' just once a month.

I will add, with the addition of a 1tb internal hard drive, I will be copying every frame I take onto that. There will be no editing to those copies... just virgin downloads. So if I have a corrupt file, I can go back to either the original memory card or the 1tb drive.

(Note: I don't erase cards until I need the space. I keep the images on the cards as long as possible because I've had files corrupted during ingestion)

I mean the entire process confuses me. Say you have a breakdown, which unit do you recover from?

Maybe I need to watch the video again..

If you mean should I lost the 'working' drive that contains all my images? The most recent backup. Which would be no more than 2 days old.

If my house burns down, or a tornado blows it clean into Kansas, or floodwaters carry it down' the ol' Miss, then either the drive at my neighbors (assuming their house is still there) or the one 872 miles away.
