[QUOTE="SteveH, post: 445941, member: 9252"] I have a 2 bay NAS, with a pair of 3TB drives in. My RAW files take up the most space but there is music etc on there too and important stuff like my CV, Insurance etc. I set the NAS so each drive is a single volume, then my RAW files back up from one to the other every night. Every couple of weeks it backs up to an external USB drive which I keep at work. The USB part is a bit flaky as I do it manually, so I may bite the bullet and sync it all up with Google drive, which is US$9.90 (I think) a month for 1 TB, or get a second USB drive and rotate them. As far as filing my RAW files, I have a folder for the year, then each day's photos are in their own folder under that (YYYY/MM/DD) then I just make sure that the metadata in the RAW files is done during import for searching. I also like using the smart collections in LR, so I can find shots of dogs or family etc easily. It may not be the perfect method, but 4 years / 16000 shots later it seems to serving me ok. [/QUOTE]
