Why Backing Up Your Files May Be Your Most Important Photography Habit

Humans are damn near helpless and hopeless without habits. Specific tasks, actions and responsibilities must be completed every day, and at the same time and in the same place, to lead any kind of meaningful life. As the old saying goes: Some people are so habitual that you could set your watch by their actions. Growing as a photographer, whether hobbyist, amateur or professional, and enjoying the process, is essentially impossible without a long series of photography habits: cleaning your equipment, checking your memory cards and batteries, holding your camera “correctly,” using the same exposure formula for specific shooting conditions, etc.

Many photographers, however, have still not made backing up their computer files (of all kinds) the important habit it should be. I think part of the reason is that we are all still a bit starry-eyed about computers. We create a file, give it name and save it; and it happens so quickly that it makes it easy to move to the next task and accomplish more during less time, which, after all, is one of the primary benefits of a computer. It’s time to wipe the stars from our eyes and return to Earth, however, and realize that computers are devices conceived and built by humans, which means they can fail…and they do!
Backing up files is the only means currently available to protect us from the imperfections of computers, hard drives and all other storage devices. That’s why The American Society of Media Photographers recommends the following 3-step backup plan:
