Chris,

First, I don't consider loss of some photos to be a major tragedy, and my best usually end up in either the LUG or Zone 10 Gallery, so they can be retrieved if necessary. I back up my C-Drive once a week, but my images are on an 8 TB "My Book", and are not backed up until the end of the year, because of the volume of the image files.

:-)  I was expecting a more complicated setup, Jim.  That looks like a good 
plan, but what backups do you take during the year?

After hearing from Tina and Ken about their extensive backup practices, I just wanted to 
show a little about my simple practice.  While I have no commercial activities, I did 
accumulate 135GB  of photo files in 2016.  As I have done for the past several years, I 
copied the 2016 files to a 1TB WD Caviar Black drive at the end of the year, using my 
"Swiss Army Knife" drive adapter.  The transfer took about 1.5 hours, which 
isn't bad for a full year's work.

The setup, except for the power "brick", is shown below:
