We had a big scare recently with our computer.
It ALMOST crashed and we could have LOST ALL OF OUR FAMILY PICTURES along with everything else!
So, I asked a friend how she went about backing up all of her pictures. Here's what she said...
- Organize all of your pictures on your computer under folders-2006, 2007, 2008, etc. From there create sub-categories of every month- January, February, March, etc. Rename each picture to explain facts- who's in it, where is it, etc.
2. Backup pictures onto CD's-if possible one CD per year. ( I had a ton of pictures, so I used about 1 CD per 2 or 3 months). Lable CD's and place in handy little case.
So I did it-finally! I have to admit, it took me several months to "catch up", seeing as I was majorly disorganized. But now, I don't have to worry about my computer crashing and losing my pictures. And plus, it's really nice to be able to take my pictures with me when I need them!
your organization makes me so jealous! I need to get on that!
ReplyDeleteWay to go!! We used to do that (not quite so pretty) until Coy got us an external hard drive where we put them all now. It's easy, and safe because it's not connected to the computer all the time.
