Why is that? Read your contract and verify that they don't have license to use your files, maintain good copyrights, and you'll have no worries.

This works for me, it does require a bit of discipline but I know that every image is always in at least 2 places... replacing the external drives on a rolling basis has so far meant that every time I replace them, they are MUCH bigger than the ones they are replacing and I have yet to have a problem with disk space!


In case fire I have the remote backup.


All that means your most recent work is always the most vulnerable, and an unexpected photo opportunity can put you in a bad spot: full memory cards, no time to keep up with your backup plan, etc.
