My, How Photo Backups Have Grown. . .

As a slowly healing injured foot still has me sticking close to home, a bit of office cleaning has turned up some boxes with old computer backups.

In 2002, all of my digital photos could be backed up onto 5 CDs (there were 2 more in addition to the “1 of 3” shown below only for streamkeeper activities).

Heh. My current store of photos takes up over 3.4 TB of space, and I back up to HDs in an external USB3 “toaster” that can hot-swap SATA drives, plus another external 6TB drive.

It’s also about time I swapped a backup with the one in the safety deposit box — you also need offsite backup, eh?

Edinburgh Sunsets

Took a ten-day trip to Edinburgh, and shall catch up with a number of posts, dated approximately to the right dates.

First off, a number of sunsets from the high window in our friend’s apartment where we stayed.
