    I've had two 1 terrabyte drives fail in the last two years so have scrapped backing them up on external drives

    I use DVDs (more space), need to go through and re-organise them again & burn onto different dvds (ran out of re-writable ones), I also have a laptop that has a 500gig hard drive in it which has the most recent photos on there (using iPhoto - it is a MAC) most recent ones were synched from my phone while on holidays.
    EEEK! we used to back up on DVD's but when I went back to use a few of them they were scratched and we lots a lot of pics... Seems there's no easy answer!

    I need to get all my pics off the comp, quite a few are on FB but they are not the greatest quality once you want to re-use or print them.
    I am going to be putting them all on discs and then in a CD case, i really want to get back into printing some of the photo's we love aswell.
    I was thinking about getting some cheap USB sticks but not 100% on how reliable they would be for storing for long periods of time.

    Thanks guys, it looks like there is no one set way that is better than another, they all have their drawbacks!!
