off site wedding storage

<p>Hello,<br>

I'm looking for a storage solution for my studio's workflow. Anything come to mind?</p>

<p>Thanks,<br>

<p>Mulitple removeable disk drives. One tethered, one untethered and in your local fire safe, and two in off-site storage (say, at a relative's house or in a safe deposit box). You can get terabytes of storage for under $75 these days, so it just makes sense to rotate mirrors of your storage like that. Don't bother with "online" (over the 'net) backups, since the bandwidth requirements are huge and transfers are agonizingly slow for anyone working in tens of GB of data per event, as most are.</p>

<p>Please use caution with a fire safe; a safe meant for paper will not usually be adequate for data storage devices. Paper will survive much higher temperatures than a hard drive or tape...</p>

<p>I use a small fire resistant document safe inside my fire resistant file cabinet for layered protection of data storage devices like tapes and HDs. A dedicated, fire resistant data storage cabinet is fairly expensive.</p>

<p>Right, I shouldn't have said "fire safe," but rather just "safe." If you have a fire, it's those drives you store somewhere else that you need to rely on.</p>

<p>Rent a safety deposit box in your local bank, and keep there one or two of your external large capacity small size hard discs.</p>

<p>Fire safe means perhaps that the papers would not cach fire, but will melt electronics and optical media.</p>
