Every so often I go through and back them up to DVD. (Used to back them up to CD. This was before the *ist D and Raw files ... ) Two copies of each disc. Minimum. Special projects are copied to specific discs as well. ============ That's a good pt. re both laptop and desktop. I have an external laptop drive, but I am pretty sure that can't be connected to the desktop.
