Hi Jon
When I said I save 10 image files to DVD I didn't mean just ten! I meant I backup to DVD every time I have 10 image files ready, I continue doing this until the DVD is full, in my case that's approx 150 x 30Mb TIFF files (can vary). Obviously with smaller files you'll get more on the disk. When the disk is full I print off a CD box insert booklet complete with CD/DVD title, (e.g. Landscapes) and a full list of the disk contents, (image titles). I have a CD storage rack system with all my CD/DVD's at hand, I have no problem finding a particular image within minutes. I also keep a database of all my image files, stating which CD or DVD they are stored on on my computer, this is also archived on CD/DVD in case of computer failure. So bottom line, the maximum number of unsaved image files I can lose at any one time from the computer is 10, the maximum database data entries loss is 10.
