Developing and printing photographic film
To many photographers a bygone relic of an earlier age, to be sneered at, but still easy and satisfying to do, and with the added smugness of not losing a single picture when the hard drive crashes on the laptop....

When did you last backup yours?

A month or 2 ago.
And when my laptops hard drive went tits up 3 nights ago I lost nothing.

*smugs*

re. processing
yup, me too. I still teach it.

I can hand colour print, too. As far as I can tell you could probably count on one hand the number of colour enlargers in use in the country (may be an exaggeration).

To which backup?
My RAID is backed up to the ESATA drive sitting on my PC and, also, to the music player I am verifying the backup on as I type. Oh, crap, yes, I think they may be on the webspace I have too.
If your home burned down -- would you have your photo's on you?

I lost half my wedding photos (negs and prints).
If they'd been digital, I'd probably still have them.

I think you mean
"When did you last back yours up?"

I last backed up, err, now, and now, and again,
Constantly. both my shop and my house would have to burn down for me to physically lose anything as there is a mirror image on the Raid 0 NAS's at home and at work, slams my broadband a bit, but worth it.

One of the main incomes at my shop is failed HD's with no back-up, Silly people!
