Sime, thanks for fixing my table-breaking image.

Good suggestions so far - I was getting to writing the "keeping your DATA safe" bits. It's currently 06:15 and I haven't slept yet on account of being at work all night...

I disagree with recommending CD/DVD backups on the basis that we are as computer people and photographers are interminably lazy and unless you're that dedicated, you'll skip out on backing up to optical media regularly. Plus it necessitates a slight shift in how you organise your photos as you don't want to be backing up half of one collection on one disk and half on another.

Flash drives will degrade after a finite number of writes due to the nature of the medium.

LoveDLSR, I was going to write just what you said so don't worry - it's coming up!
