I have a C:\Data Folder which is backed up daily. A full backup once a
week with an incremental daily. Within this is my /LegacyData folder
with sub-folders for photos, documents, etc. Within each of these
subfolders is a folder for each family subdivided by individual. The
individual is identified by FirstName, Middle Initial and birthdate.
So
C:/Data
/LegacyData
/Photos
/Harbaugh
/GeorgeA1898
/Documents
/Harbaugh
/GeorgeA1898
I keep all original photo scans as 1200 dpi 24 bit color or grey or
black and white as the case may be. The format is always TIFF. I then
process the photo to web enhanced jpg. Any documents are saved as PDF.
Just my .02 It works for me and I can find any file almost immediately.
