Photos that do not get lost
A copy on the same drive is not a backup. Unfortunately that only becomes clear afterwards.

What it is about
Most data loss is not a catastrophe but a failed drive or an accidentally deleted folder. Both are harmless when a backup exists, and final when it does not.
What matters is that the backup runs on its own. One you have to remember will eventually be forgotten.
How we set it up
- An automatic backup you do not have to start
- One copy in the house and one outside it
- Several versions, so a mistake noticed late is still fixable
- A message when the backup did not run
The most important step
We restore some data together, once. Only after that do you know the backup really works, and what to do if it matters.
