Question
Hey I work in a photo studio where the photographers shoot with latest canons and nikons and they use sd or compact flash. Now we transfer everything to an external hdd and we then burn each wedding or w/e to dvds to back it up, this system though is very complicated, he ext. HDD is becoming full, im scared it will crash and etc. Is there a better choice, because we are always busy on jobs and can't afford to loose everything. Is it good to back up online or is it even more risky, do you have any recommendations? Thanks alot

Answer
Hello Meir,

Unfortunately, I am not the person to ask this question.  You might try  a technical thread.  I know there are back up systems that you can try but I shouldn't counsel you as to which one as that is out of my expertise.

Thanks,


Tricia
