Tis the Season for Sharing... aka, Giving Your Family Offline Backups for Safety

With so many family meetups planned for the near future, we encourage you to take advantage of the personal connections to protect yourself from catastrophic data loss by giving a trustworthy family member an offsite backup in the form of a portable hard drive. Doing so is easy and will provide you a little peace of mind that your images are protected.

And with a price-to-storage-capacity ratio that seems to get better by the day, protecting your data with offsite external hard drives is a more reasonable option than ever. Our personal favorite is the WD My Passport series, but there are certainly a wide range of options to choose from.

Bad things happen; a house fire, flooding, theft or a primary hard drive failure can easily wipe away years of photographic treasures in a matter of seconds. So this year, give your family something that requires no wrapping, no assembly, and batteries – a pre-filled portable hard drive – and help ensure your beautifully crafted 1s and 0s remain safe.
