A Simple Backup Plan for Family Photos

Family photos and an external backup drive

If your photos exist in only one place, they are not backed up. A strong plan keeps more than one copy and makes at least one copy automatic.

Use the 3-2-1 idea

Keep three copies of important files, on two different kinds of storage, with one copy away from your home.

  • The working copy on your phone or computer
  • A local copy on an external drive
  • An automatic encrypted cloud copy

Test the restore

A backup is only useful if you can retrieve a file. Every few months, open the backup service or drive and restore a sample photo.
