Securely back up your photos without thinking about

Backing up photos has been and always will be an ongoing debate within the photography community. What is the best way, the cheapest way, the safest way?

I have mentioned in the past what I use but now my two favorite solutions made it even easier.

Drobo and JungleDisk now have automated backup solutions built right into their software. All you need to do is set the folder you want backed up and the when you want it backed up and you never have to think about it again. I have my entire library backed up every Sunday at 12AM so it doesn’t interfere with my workflow.

The best part is after the first backup the software will not overwrite files at the next backup. It will only add new files. You can however tell it to delete files from the backup that you delete from the library. Cool, no?

For Mac users who don’t have a Drobo or don’t use JungleDisk I do believe Carbon Copy Cloner has a similar feature. That means you can automate your backup to any external hard drive!
