[QUOTE="aroy, post: 303707, member: 16090"] This is one of the reasons that I use the OS for backing up and copying. With any OS you are sure of what is being copied and where. Later on you can configure the backup in your Software. Regarding Seagate, they have had a patchy time. Ten years ago it was only Seagate, then their 1 & 2 TB drives started having problems and WD took their place. Now Seagate is again clawing back. I would never use "Cloud Storage" as an exclusive storage. The reasons are following . Though cloud may be free the internet bandwidth is not. It is definitely cheaper to have a 1TB drive than 1TB cloud storage (and at least till date faster too). . The company may wind up, and with that all your data. . The data may be compromised and/or stolen. I will never trust confidential stuff to third party. . Finally there are many parts of the world where the net is either non existent or at the best slow. Getting your data will be a problem. The best way to preserve your images is . Copy one set to your computer straight from the camera. . Copy another set to an external USB disk. I use 500GB external dives. Plan to move to 1TB. . The program I use (Nikon View NX-D beta) does non destructive edits. All edits are stored in a sub directory in a file with same prefix as the original in a modified XML format. All I need to preserve the edits is to copy the sub directory containing these files to the archived disk. . I also keep a copy of all the jpeg files I generate, at a separate location. [/QUOTE]
