[Leica] IMG: Basic Annual Photo Backup

[Ken Carney]

Jim,

My only comment would be that I use two backup programs, one backup with 
SyncBackPro (file transfer) and one with Acronis (disk imaging), to the 
external drives.  So, I stand a chance of recovery even if a failure of 
the software or hard drive (I am a CPA which requires an annual psych 
exam to verify required levels of paranoia and OCD.)
