The Backup System I Use So I Never Lose Client Photos or Videos
Losing client photos or video footage is every photographer and videographer’s worst nightmare.
In this video, I walk through the exact backup system I use after every shoot to make sure client photo and video work is never lost. This setup is designed specifically for photographers, videographers, and small production businesses — not massive studios with expensive servers.
I break down how I handle original SD cards, working drives, NAS backups using RAID, and optional cloud backups for offsite protection. I also explain how a NAS actually works, why RAID matters, and what it does and doesn’t protect against.
If you shoot paid client photo or video work and want a realistic, affordable way to protect your files, this system will save you from a nightmare.
