Basil Lim Photography is launching soon, the website is currently under construction at www.basilphotography.com. There's nothing there at the moment, until photos can be sorted out to display as portfolio, and I'm building a preview introduction/welcome on the front-page slideshow.
Work is piling up fast, 6 shoots all clamoring for photos to be worked on, although the slower backup computer I've been relegated to is not the best. Main work computer is still away for fixing, with Dell - 5 days left under warranty when it kicked the bucket!
Events like this make me shudder at the thought of the loss of all those photographs over the 2 week period I've been without my main workstation (over 3000 shots).
Backup is necessary in this age of digital files, and compared to the cost of losing hard work, coupled with the very cheap per-photograph cost, it's crazy not contemplating it!
Take a typical 12-bit Nikon NEF RAW file, about 12-14 MB in size. A 1 Terabyte external hard drive goes for around 100 euros, or about 120 USD at current currency rates. That will hold over 70,000 RAW files.
Even assuming that half the file space on the hard drive is taken up by Photoshop files or generated jpegs (again assuming you don't work on every single file), thats 0.003 euros or 0.3 cents per file.
Even with larger 14 bit files, you can see the costs are minimal, compared to losing all the time that went into the files.
I use twin Buffalo Drivestation external hard-drives, one of which is a portable, shock-resistant drive, and will soon be adding a third. They've served me well so far, and every shoot is immediately backed up on the two drives, and on my computer, and each physically stored in different locations. Paranoid much - No. They represent too much investment in terms of money and time. Digital photography's work output can be summarised entirely in 1's and 0's..
Here's a link to one of the Buffalo hard drives:
