Storing offline is great and all, but I hope everyone is storing on multiple disks at multiple locations....

Yer didn't think so, I'm sure photos are being lost.

Everyone loses data once before they understand how important backups are.

For some of my acquaintances, uploading to facebook or sending them through whatsapp counts as backing up their pictures.
