Thank Heavens for my Off-site Backup!

I'm in the middle of a huge organizational project right now - getting ALL my digital photos onto the new iMac into one chronological system, with everything tagged appropriately. It's going well so far - I've got ALL of my photos onto the new computer (something in the realm of 65,000 of them altogether; I had an entire 128-slot binder filled with ( Read more... )

And, of course, after you finish with this tagging project, you will be tagging photos AS you save them, right?

Well, you make it sound like I've been slacking off for not doing it up until now . . . it's just that I've only recently gotten a program that actually tags the way I want the photos tagged (where it's part of their exif data now). But yeah, I'm already tagging all my new stuff, thankyouverymuch. :D

Ohhh, scary! I'm glad you were able to find them. One day, I'm going to do the same with my pictures. One day...

What is Mozy? It sounds like something I should look into!

Mozy is awesome . . . it's an online back-up system, and costs something like $55 a year. Admittedly, the first backup can take AGES (like, several days) when you first upload all your files, but after that it does automatic daily backups of the new stuff, and changes, and you don't have to worry about it. Also, AFAIK, this is one of the few (the only?) online system like this that supports Mac. I would definitely check it out. You can try it for free - they have something like a 2 GB free account, if that's all that you would ever need (although I'm sure you need a lot more than that, with photos).
