Now, I've always thought of myself as a relatively organized sort of person, but this blogger puts me to shame! Scroll down to her Feb 2, 2007 entry and marvel with me at the way she stores her photos and cds/dvds ... I'm still in shock! And that leads me into today's little project, which will probably take me a couple of weeks to finish.
I have a folder ... and in the folder is a contact sheet of the layouts I created for the month, and in a dvd sleeve is a dvd, with the month's psd files, 8x8 inch jpegs to print, and jpegs saved at web quality, AND that month's photos. So how ORGANIZED am I? I've done 2007 ... and tomorrow I will grind back through my digi years of 2006 back to 2003! Like I said, it's going to take weeks!!!
I read an article this weekend in NetGuide on how best to back up files on dvd. Summarized, the article said ... the most expensive discs are not necessarily the best. Verbatim has been the most consistant performer, producing the least number of errors over a significant number of burnings. Don't burn your discs at the drive's maximum speed. The faster you burn, the more errors you will end up with. The recommended speed is half what your drive will do. Check to see that the data has copied after you have finished burning the dvd. Store your backup discs in a cool, dark, dry location. Make multiple backup discs on multiple types of discs. Transfer these backups to new discs every five years. Ok ... now you know. Oh yes, why the sudden interest in backing up? Lanne? How's the recovery going? :(
