How to organize photos before you backup?

Last Updated :

Our digital photographs have become a valuable asset these days. The photo sets include various priceless moments captured over the period of time. We frequently ask ourselves how to go about backing up our images like a pro. For I believe that hard drives may malfunction anytime, memory cards and DVDs can go corrupt, computer may crash etc. God forbid if it happens, all of our precious and priceless moments captured in photographs are gone. But if you seriously want to preserve your digital photos more securely then you need to think about creating a file management and backup workflow. If you are an avid photographer you have to set up a routine to take a regular backup of your photos. Having multiple copies of all your photographs is necessary. You may think that creating multiple backups is a cumbersome process, but actually it isn’t. With the help of photo backup software and tools, creating redundant backups has become incredibly easy.

PicBackMan does exactly what it's supposed to. It's quick and efficient. It runs unobtrusively in the background and has done an excellent job of uploading more than 300GB of photos to 2 different services. After having lost a lot of personal memories to a hard drive crash, it's nice to know that my photos are safe in 2 different places.

LOVE this program! Works better than ANY other program out there that I have found to upload thousands of pictures WITH SUB-FOLDERS to SmugMug! Thank you so much for what you do! :) #happycustomer

I pointed PicBackMan at a directory structure, and next time I looked - all the photos had uploaded! Pretty cool. I use SmugMug and while I really like it, the process of creating directories in is pretty laborious when you need to make 80+ at a time. This was a breeze. Thank you!

PicBackMan was really easy to setup and has been running for 3 days now backing up all my locally saved photos to Flickr. My photos are really valuable to me so it's great to be able to have them easily backed up to a secure location.
