I lost all my pre-2013 photos in a hard drive failure some years ago (irreplaceable baby pics etc), and chalked it up as a lesson to always make backups.

But I just spent three days clearing out the garage for some work to be done, and it turns out the *actual* lesson is to always remember that you did make a backup you idiot, it's in the garage under a pile of crap.

@ancientjames awww your toot almost brought tears to my eyes!!! I so know the importance of photos as mementos. SO HAPPY FOR YOU ❤️
I have a yearly tradition where I select the best photos and turn them into photo books... I keep a copy and gift one to my parents and one to my in-laws.
Plus I have backup drives in Italy and in the countryside at my in laws'... and a backup at home too (better safe than sorry) 😅
