Help and Advice / DIGITAL STORAGE OF YOUR PHOTOGRAPHS

« on: June 05, 2016, 06:10:53 PM »

Hello folks
I am transferring all my photos to a new applemac and have found that some of my old compact flash cards are not working
These date from 2008 as when I did take photos on them I tend to keep the cf cards or the sd cards rather than re-use them
I must say though the higher end cards are far better than the earlier cheaper cards I have
I have duplicated all my photos to other computers and drives just in case anything fails
I am also going to copy all my photos to another user , and as I specialize in Greek ports my complete collection will be held in Greece
Let me know your thoughts on this matter and how you go about saving all your hard earned shipping photos
Kind regards
