Chris,
First, I don't consider loss of some photos to be a major tragedy, and
my best usually end up in either the LUG or Zone 10 Gallery, so they can
be retrieved if necessary. I back up my C-Drive once a week, but my
images are on an 8 TB "My Book", and are not backed up until the end of
the year, because of the volume of the image files.

:-) I was expecting a more complicated setup, Jim. That looks like a good
plan, but what backups do you take during the year?

After hearing from Tina and Ken about their extensive backup practices, I just wanted to
show a little about my simple practice. While I have no commercial activities, I did
accumulate 135GB of photo files in 2016. As I have done for the past several years, I
copied the 2016 files to a 1TB WD Caviar Black drive at the end of the year, using my
"Swiss Army Knife" drive adapter. The transfer took about 1.5 hours, which
isn't bad for a full year's work.
The setup, except for the power "brick", is shown below:
