I then have the images backed up to two sets of identical DVDs. One DVD is kept in the house and the other used to be at my office but since I retired, I keep the second DVD in my car (I figure that the house and car wont burn down at the same time.....) My slides and negatives are less easily handled. They are all stored at home and would probably be lost in a fire. Some have been scanned and are included in the digital backup system. > > 2.
