Jim,
i, too, have only physical files and backups - altogether 5 sets of RAW +
Prints in TIFF form. I need 4TB for each, so that is 8 TB per set for four
sets, and an additional one on a NAS.

I took Brian's meaning was being locked into a proprietary system, i.e. not
being able to access the processed files if you exit their software. This
can be a real problem - when I ran a business, we used to store our backups
on HP tape drives in the early 1990s. For some reason, the Income Tax
authorities wanted some details after 6 years. We found to our shock that
neither did HP have a drive, but they had changed the software as well, so
they could not help a client who had been using their cutting edge
technology 6 years earlier!

Cheers
Jayanand
