What if you lost your digital images?

Well I now have my recovery software Pretty cool too. it will not only recover photos, but any data from any device connected to a computer, including any kind of media cards. I have tried it out and it has worked for everything I tried it on so far, even a zip drive and CD's and DVD's.
It even worked on drives Windows can't find. It seems I'm now in the data recovery business too, I recovered three cards for another photog last night.

I think the best advice that one can give is dont keep your images on the same hard drive as your operating system. I bought a second HD just for archival purposes. I also try to make CDR backups but they get redundant after burning so many. CDRs actually only last ~10 years, so those who have backups on aging CDRs reburn the data. This is because CDRs are made so cheaply. I haven't bought a DVD burner yet because new cd technology is here. Sony introduced Blu-Ray technology which is a DVD (BD) that can hold 50 gigabytes, compared to the standard of, what is it, 3-4 gbs. http://www.blu-ray.com/
