How do you back up your precious images? I lost nearly all of mine because my 500GB Stargate portable hard drive crashed the week of my son's wedding. I wanted to cry and throw up, and learned a valuable lesson of having multiple backups just in case.

Right now I use multiple hard drives. I use to own a Drobo system with 4 two TB hard drives and it failed on me. I lost ALL my images!!!

2 backups in 2 seperate places. Flickr's massive amount of storage space is also a nice place to stash high resolution jpgs in private albums.

I know it's not the best way, but I keep all the original shots on the SD or CF cards and backup to an external HD. I feel much more confident with the images on the CF cards than the SD cards.

I place them on multiple drives then save them to DVD for filing.

I don't know how I feel about cloud yet. Photos can turn in to quite a bit of space and it really could take a while transferring and what not. I'm sure I'll get there but for now hard drives seem ok. At least until they crash.

Having the advantage of an online cloud is always a great place
Having 27gb of storage in the cloud makes it an easy option

I have mine backed up 3 times. I copy the pics off of my CF onto the desktop. I do most of my post processing work from there. When I am done, I will copy all of the pre and post files to an external Lacie drive. At some point, usually once a week, I will back all of that up again on yet another external Lacie drive. That may be a bit excessive, but I am less likely to lose images (and a lot of work) as I have in the past due to a HD crash.
