Backing Up Digital Photos

Here is what I do.
1. Load all my photos to an online photo service. Then they are saved.
2. Do monthly backups of my most recent photos to CD-R's. Store one copy at home and one a DH's office.
3. Do quarterly backups of most recent photos to to DVD - store one copy at home other at office.
4. Do quarterly backups of ALL photos to DVD - store two copies in different places.
5. Do quarterly backups of entire computer to external Hard Drive.

Once a year I destroy the CD-R's. They don't have a long life and I don't need the clutter. Every couple of years I'll probably destroy the oldest DVD backups of ALL the photos.
