    RE: Post your "Backup" process

    I import my images using a USB 3.0 reader (I recently got a PCI express to USB 3.0 reader link, its amazing how much faster this is now) to a dedicated hard drive labeled images where all my files are stored.

    That whole computer gets backed up nightly on my home server.

    The image drive mentioned above gets copied to an external USB 3.0 drive ever week when ever I get a reminder to backup my catalog in lightroom. Every month or so that drive gets swapped out with another that I keep off site at a friends house.

    So essentially if something happens to my PC I had two local copies available to use. If something happens to all three I have an off site back up that shouldn't be more then a month out of current.

    I keep thinking about adding a cloud based back up. But I'm not a fan of subscription services.
