We, like most people now, use a digital camera to take all of our pictures. The worry is that some day something will happen to the pc they are stored on and we will lose them all. To combat that, I had one of those external hard drives that I periodically connected and copied over all of our important files to be sure that we had second copies. I then kept the drive in another part of the house to be safe.
When we moved I somehow lost the cables I needed to connect it to the computer and so had no way to back up for about a year. Finally, fearing a problem, I researched buying new cords for it. Turned out that a new drive with 400% of the capacity of my old one, was barely more money than the cords.
