This is me! I had mine all on an external harddrive - but had cleared them off my computer becuase they took up so much room. Now my HD has crashed and a now I have nothing!

This is SOOO true! I take heaps and heaps of photos and now my lap top AND the PC are full of photo's, plus we have heaps of photobooks(MIL is a photographer).

I was just saying to my DH the other week, we need to back them up onto CD's and stuff, as Id be heartbroken, if I lost my photos of the kids and family/wedding etc]]> Sun, 25 Apr 2010 15:41:29 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=33054&PID=1006115&title=backup-photos#1006115 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=33054&PID=1005943&title=backup-photos#1005943 Author: Jam08

Thanks for the reminder. I must get on to backing them up somewhere other than the computer. I am like flake and always get our photos printed before I delete them from the SD card in the camera.

You guys make me feel better as I feel like I'm the only one that has a ridiculous amount of photos of our son. I take my camera everywhere and take photos even at home. DH checks the camera out most nights to check out what we have been up to during the day!]]> Sun, 25 Apr 2010 10:45:42 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=33054&PID=1005943&title=backup-photos#1005943 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=33054&PID=1005942&title=backup-photos#1005942 Author: wellygirl

StaceyL - I'm the same! Isla is only 2 months old today and I have 1700 photos of her already! It's quite ridiculous really! My friends hassle me for the amount of pictures of her I've put on Facebook but in reality, theres barely any ofher on there! Only the REALLY good ones lol]]> Sat, 24 Apr 2010 23:57:27 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=33054&PID=1005842&title=backup-photos#1005842 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=33054&PID=1005509&title=backup-photos#1005509 Author: E&L+1

I'd do external and CD as my mum used an external as back up and it crashed and she lost heaps of photos too! We have all our photos on multiple computers and on CD as well :)]]> Sat, 24 Apr 2010 16:10:57 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=33054&PID=1005509&title=backup-photos#1005509 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=33054&PID=1005495&title=backup-photos#1005495 Author: Delli

External harddrives are probally the easiest option. You even download a backup program to do it all automatically at a certain time each day/week etc. Just make sure you hide the HD when you are not using it.]]> Sat, 24 Apr 2010 14:15:01 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=33054&PID=1005431&title=backup-photos#1005431 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=33054&PID=1005418&title=backup-photos#1005418 Author: HuntersMama

What do people use to back up? I sync our computer with the ipod every few weeks and burn photos to disc. Maybe I should get an external hard drive?]]> Sat, 24 Apr 2010 13:55:45 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=33054&PID=1005418&title=backup-photos#1005418 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=33054&PID=1005353&title=backup-photos#1005353 Author: Manda08

That same thing happened to us, and I kept meaning to 'get around to backing up' but never did.

Thankfully it was before Keira was born, but I still lost a whole heap of great photos. So now I upload on Snapfish, external hard drive, discs (have one set here and another at my mums) I think if someone will steal your laptop they will definately steal hard drive also.]]> Sat, 24 Apr 2010 07:34:03 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=33054&PID=1005215&title=backup-photos#1005215 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=33054&PID=1005155&title=backup-photos#1005155 Author: Delli

DP was so paranoid about our pics of Jude (especially the very early ones) that they are backed up on multiple CDs, Flash Drive, External Hard Drive, laptop and desktop computer..... And also on his parents computer.

Have read somewhere that some people are relying on places like Facebook and Photobucket to store all of their photos - please don't rely on them as your only back ups (besides the fact that they are not as good a quality once you have loaded them onto Facebook), it's not safe!]]> Fri, 23 Apr 2010 22:45:49 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=33054&PID=1005155&title=backup-photos#1005155 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=33054&PID=1005117&title=backup-photos#1005117 Author: Richie

Not sure if this is the right place to post this or not but just wanted to remind everyone to back up their photos! Just got an email from one of the ladies from my antenatal group...... they got burgled yesterday in broad daylight whilst she was at our antenatal catch up! The thieves took off with her husbands guns, a scanner, 40" Plasma TV etc and 2x laptops. One of which contains pics of their wee girl. She hadn't yet gotten around to backing up the photos so all she has now are the photos she'd put on Facebook.
I feel absolutely terrible for her and her husband. I'd be sooooo upset if I lost all my photos of Isla.
So please please please make sure you make copies of your pics. I'd hate for anyone else to go thru this cause our bubbas grow so fast and photos are essential to capture all the precious memories]]> Fri, 23 Apr 2010 22:19:53 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=33054&PID=1005117&title=backup-photos#1005117
