Backing Up Photos: Keep Your Memories Safe for Decades
Phones and cloud services fail or change. A deliberate photo backup strategy keeps memories safe.
Use multiple copies
- Cloud photo backup.
- An external drive at home.
- A second copy in a different location.
Organise and export
Periodically download full-resolution originals and keep them in standard formats such as JPEG.
Check it
Open random old photos from backups once a year to make sure they still work.
Key takeaway: Keep at least three copies of your photos and verify them regularly.
