My car never had a flat tire. Therefore car tires never fail! - because logic!

I haven't lost any data, ever, because I realized early on that redundancy is indeed God. I have everything backed up multiple times in multiple ways. Some people looked at me like I was crazy, including 2 friends who later lost years of photos of their kids growing up. In the past 20+ I've had numerous drive failures including a time when the computers main drive failed AND my first back-up drive did.
@millertime6
I watched a video a couple months ago where a photographer had to pay thousands of dollars to recover lost data from a hard drive! That sucks!
@thesiklosexperience7385
I worked Apple Tech Support for years, so many people don’t back up their data. So true! Amazon Prime accounts get FREE photo storage as of 9-20-18.
@dren4805
Buy two nikon Z7s and you will have 2 card slots...
@zeroibis
Backblaze, unlimited backup... that is the way to go.
@richardharvey1732
Hi Ken, there is no reasonable doubt that you are correct in saying that duplication, or even triplication of data is crucial, but you could equally argue that more or less the same applies to the hardware, cameras also breakdown without warning!. The implication of this is that Canon and Nikon are not wrong to fit only one card slot after all, they know that serious shooters are going to buy at least one additional body as back up, maybe more!, therefore none of them need twin cards, especially if it turns out that the cameras fail more often than cards!. I wonder if any pro. photographers ever have an assistant shooting with another camera at the same time, just to be on the safe side!. Cheers, Richard(devil's advocate).
@WolfFeX
I must have like over 400 blank CDs/DVD/Blurays lying around, dual layer/writable/rewritable etc.. and got them all of a great price, and that too reliable brands like Verbatim/Sony/Ritek, use them from time to time.
@thefailingstudent
this is why i have a raid 1 array in my desktop computer. Photos are transferred to that raid array first then to a hot swap 4tb drive i only use for photos. I learnt a long time ago that backing up was key in digital photography.

"Do I mean that jokingly . . . A little bit." lol
@thelining4078
yeah, your harddisk needs dual card slots. 5:53 big lol over facial expression. :)
@beaupfeifferrecordings
after watching this video my HD crashed can any one help
@PJ-ku5lp
Did you see Tony Northrup plead to camera manufacturers to start building sealed memory into cameras like an iPhone?
@johnlondon7620
Depends what you are doing. If you are a pro and making money, of course 2 cards are needed. If you are an amateur (like me) I really don't care if the card fails. I will put another card in and start shooting again. Photographers carry additional batteries for backup. What happens if the camera fails? You need a backup. How far do you take it? That all depends on each photographer to determine what is best. Corporations are totally different. I worked in the largest bank in the country and we where heavily regulated. We needed to prove we could recover from any failure at anytime. We had the resources to spend on any equipment. How much does one want to spend? Well, that is up to each photographer. When I go on a trip, I like that the camera has dual slots. Is it necessary? Not for me. However, I feel better. Is it worth it? Again, each photographer has to make up their own mine.
@TheRhiohki
I suppose I know a thing or two about redundancy then. If redundancy is God and God is love, then redundancy is love. I literally....literally have about 200 past girlfriends.
@nilofido411
Redundancy is ABSOLUTELY god....my main drive where I have all my recent work has just died, a 9 years old 1T external hard disk... I am totaly P***d off cause Iit will take me a day to recover the data, but I am also laughing as I haven't lost anything...including the last two shoots that I have done in the last 5 days....
@Pedramneku
It does not matter if you shoot pro or amateur , you need backup all thee times. no one wants to miss a shot. maybe it is some newly weds honeymoon shoot in Italy, just because they are not PRO doesnt mean they are okay with card failure. my D7200 has dual card slots ! it is not by any mean a professional camera and it is relatively old ! but Nikon Z7 a camera supposedly made for professionals has one???? are you kidding me ?
@DavidTschoepe
Quite the lengthy and in depth discussion you have there on that backup and hard drive article you posted to the Apple community. I agree, backup is god. I've had data lost more than once in my life. I'm now anal about backup. I have Time Machine. I use Super Duper to create images of my internal hard drive to an external several times per month. I have BackBlaze on my iMac backing up all my personal data to the cloud. You really need at least 2 backups. I have 3.
@ericgillin4319
I save my images on my computer and also on dvd's . I also started saving them on sandisk 128gb flash drives. how dependable are flash drives and how long do they last. I also store copys at a different house in case of fire. about fire can hard drives , dvds, flash drives , be protected in a fire box , thanks ken for all the help.
