If you’re planning on giving your digital camera a workout over the holiday season, have a think about how you’re going to make sure those photos can be enjoyed for years to come.

In short this means creating regular backups of your computer.
For starters, get a good external hard drive to create a backup of your entire system.  A 1 to 2 terabyte drive can be picked up for around the 100 dollar mark.

So that you’re not keeping all your eggs in one basket, looking at a cloud based storage solution is also a good idea to ensure new files are automatically included in an automatic online backup.
