Backing up your photos and saving them in multiple locations (as in, physical buildings – not all in your home) is essential if you want to ensure you have your pictures for years to come.  Lane Hill of Lasting Impressions, the makers of the Memory Mixer Digital Scrapbooking Software that I design for, got me thinking and taking action.

Here is a video showing you how to export your photos from iPhoto to jpegs, so you can burn them to DVD’s (CD’s only last about 5 years but DVDs have an average life of 60) and store them off site.

[There is a video that cannot be displayed in this feed. Visit the blog entry to see the video.]

Here’s to the safe preservation of your memories!
