A poll conducted in UK in October 2010 exposed that of all the possessions people worry most about losing, it is digital photos. People are far more afraid of losing photographs than even our purses.
Photos are indispensable. They represent who we were and where we've been. We can replace lost keys and telephones but nothing can take the place of lost photos. Once they are lost, they're lost foreverâ€"except in our imaginations which, unfortunately, we will never share with any person.
Photos of you when you got married, that image of your wife as she delivered your baby, those first shots of your newborn child, 1st party footage or graduation picturesâ€"these are visible records of our emotional moments and serious milestones. We'd give anything just 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 disk failure, unintentionally dropping your digital camera, getting your smart phone wet, random erasure and memory card-related errors are all causes for losing digital pictures. It's important, then, to have a good backup system to prevent loss of all of your photographs, 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 footage is just beyond you.
Professional photographers, whose livelihood depends on the integrity of their customers ' pictures, offer the following advice in stopping data loss:
- Copy your photographs to an external hard drive and label by year and event.
- Enroll with an online backup service provider so that when something happens to your external disc drive (or your house), you still have an off-site backup.
- Back-up your stills onto 2 DVD-R's. In case one DVD-R gets corrupted, the other can be deployed. You may also decide 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.
