Preservation
Backup
Keep history safe for decades
Combine resilient backups with open formats and clear labels so files remain meaningful across devices and years.
3‑2‑1 essentials
- 3 copies of important data
- 2 different media types
- 1 copy off‑site (cloud or external in another location)
| Risk | Mitigation |
|---|---|
| Drive failure | Store copies on separate devices |
| Accidental deletes | Use versioned storage and recycle bins |
| Household incidents | Keep one off‑site copy |
| Format obsolescence | Prefer open formats and keep local backups |
Label for future you
Add people, place, date, and short descriptions. Save short notes for audio so stories keep context in Memory Lane.
FAQs
- Cloud or local?
- Both — combine for resilience. Use cloud for off‑site and an external drive for fast restores.
