A survey conducted in UK in October 2010 revealed that of all the possessions folks worry most about losing, it is photos. Folks are far more fearful of losing photos than even our purses.
Digital photos are essential. They represent who we were and where we have been. We will be able to replace lost keys and phones but nothing can take the place of lost images. Once they're lost, they are lost foreverâ€"except in our imaginations which, sadly, we can never share with anyone.
Pictures of you when you were married, that picture of your spouse as she was delivering your baby, those first shots of your newly born kid, birthday party photographs or graduation picturesâ€"these are visual records of our emotional moments and significant landmarks. We might give anything simply to keep them.
The advent of digital photography has brought on a surge of picture-taking and digital photography has made picture-taking simple and inexpensive. Sadly, losing photos with this technology is almost as simple as taking them.
Hard drive failure, accidentally dropping your digicam, getting your cell phone wet, accidental deletion and memory card-related mess ups are all causes for losing digital photographs. It is important, then, to have a good backup system to stop loss of all your pictures, to have photo data recovery software in the event of their loss and to have a data recovery company to go to in case recovery of lost photographs is simply beyond you.
Pro photographers, whose livelihood is dependent upon the integrity of their clients ' photographs, offer the following information in preventing digital image loss:
- Copy your footage to an external disc drive and label by year and event.
- Sign up with an internet backup service provider so that when something happens to your external hard drive (or your house), you continue to have an off-site backup.
- Back-up your pictures onto 2 DVD-R's. In case one DVD-R gets corrupted, the other can be used. You may also opt to store these DVD's off-site or outside of your house.
In the event you lose your photos from your mobile camera phone or digital camera, you can recover them using any of the above backupsâ€"external hard disk, online backup and DVD-R's.
