After visiting the Photography Live show in Birmingham at the weekend and chatting with many photographers, I was reminded how few of them are really aware of how important it is for them to ensure their images are protected against drive failure, theft and disasters. And again this morning, I read of another photographer who had lost images because their storage wasn’t set up to keep them safe. If you’re in the same boat, you need to to talk to a specialist like us who will offer some suitable strategies for storing and protecting your images.

I’ll be doing some more videos on this subject in the coming weeks, but for today I wanted to show you a neat feature of the ToughTech Duo enclosure that I sell. This handy little device gives you protection against single drive failure when you run it as a mirrored, portable RAID. However, because the drives are easily removable (without tools), it also allows you to create an offsite snapshot of your data within about 30 seconds.

If you’re interested in this, or its bigger brother (the RTX220) that allows for mirrored drives of up to 4TB, please do give me a call on 01923 555048 or contact me through any of the normal channels.

Have a great day
