“The most expensive part of any computer is its data—are you backing up?”
BONUS: Pay just one cent each to digitize your photos during #WorldBackupDay®
The gang here at ScanMyPhotos takes digital storage and backing up best practices very seriously—especially when it comes to the irreplaceable sentimental value of your photos and film. While we have professionally digitized one billion million pictures (this fast), there are still trillions more to preserve and back up.
Take a few minutes on this day, check and see if all the photos in your smartphone are being backed up to a cloud service such as Google, Dropbox or iCloud. Oh, and back up important docs, too. Many people do not own scanners to store physical images. A good way to scan and store them can be found at ScanMyPhotos.com, which will scan and store online photos, slides, negative and videos and has been doing it since 1990.
I have literally thousands of photos from my pre-digital life. Maybe it's time to look into this. https://t.co/Dm8l4TaVlh
