Say why one copy is not enough
Tell whether your things are actually safe, or only feel safe.
A single copy of a photograph is one accident away from gone. There is nothing behind it.
The old rule is three copies, in two kinds of place, one of them out of the house.
Key points
- One copy is one accident away from nothing
- Two copies, in two places, is the rule worth keeping
What to remember
- The second copy is the one that saves you.
- If there is one copy, there is no backup.
Try this
Pick the photograph you would least like to lose and count where it exists. If the answer is one, that is tonight’s job.
