Backup Photos, Pictures and Other Data

For professional photographers, regular photo backup is a question of supreme importance. Their creativity is unique: by transmitting fascinating images of reality through a prism of individuality, a photographer can create masterpieces. Each picture is of great value, and it is not surprising that the question of how to backup photos receives a lot of attention from photographers of all levels.

It is a good practice to backup photos at two stages: before processing (original raw images) and after processing (final edited versions). While being relatively small in size, both versions require a lot of efforts, and accidental loss or corruption may become a real disaster. Regardless of the fact that most photographers back up photos without a reminder, specialized photo backup software is very useful and saves a lot of time and costs.

Backing up Photos with Handy Backup

Handy Backup is an easy-to-use backup software that will help you to backup photo files quickly and effectively. It has many advanced options and preferences that allow you to perform backups much easier than manually:

• Simple selection of files. Our backup utility allows specifying file masks and backing up files of specific name and extension. For example, if you add certain text to image names after processing, you can easily add them to the task by using the corresponding file mask.
• Variety of storage media. Storing backups on a local disk doesn't provide protection from general HDD failure. The best decision will be to backup photos to a DVD or a CD disk, or to another computer (e.g. via LAN or FTP).
• Scheduling and options. You can schedule your backups and make them run automatically at an appointed time, and back up each day, each week, or whenever you want (e.g. each twelve hours). There are many useful options, such as compression, encryption, storing backups with timestamps, and others.

Do remember that performing regular photo backups is of great importance. Avoid saying "it will never happen to me" – certainly, there is a chance that your hard drive will never fail, but it is also necessary to backup photos to protect them from your own mistakes. And if something happens, restoring original images and performing all post-processing may cost thousands times more time than performing a single backup.
