Whether it’s a stolen computer or hardware failure, it seems that one of the top things that a lot of people care about are photos.

Just this week, I was consulted about what to do for three students who had their laptops stolen. And a friend of mine once paid $2300 to mainly recover their photos (and other files) from their dead hard drive.

I was browsing around recently and stumbled upon this video (and blog post from award winning photographer director Chase Jarvis and this is what he does for his photos and video (the video also covers his photo and video workflow). If I needed some photo or video work done, I’d know I could rely on him should a fire, flood, or a meteor strike:

I’m in the process of reorganizing my media, but I do have most of my photos and videos stored on a Drobo. I also recently bought a 1 TB external mini hard drive from Western Digital, but it’s quite slow so I’ll likely replace it with a mini drive from G-Technology mentioned in the video and also separately recommended by an Adobe Creative Suite evangelist. And in the photography workshop I took two weeks ago, one of the instructors also mentioned storing files using RAID.
