you need to make multiple backups, not switch back to film... JC O'Connell [email protected]

Don't even get me started on the fact that Apple knew the seagate drive used on my mac was prone to failures. My last backup was on Jan 30. So I dig out the CD's and guess what. 2 out of 10 of the CD's have failed. I was so angry I was on the verge of cursing. As if to taunt me my boxes of negatives were stored right next to the CD's. I pulled out a box and looked at a sleeve, a softball game from 1982. Still looking good despite spending almost 30 years in a dark closet. So I think I'm going to take a break from digital for a while and shoot only film. I know the data loss can happen in any medium but after two devastating losses in the past 4 years I need to get back to simpler times.
