Memorial Day invites us to pause, remember, and honor those who came before us. One of the most meaningful ways to do that is through memory preservation—protecting the memories we carry, not just in our hearts, but in our photos, videos, and family stories.

Whether it’s a favorite snapshot of a loved one, an old home movie, or a family reunion on film, those memories deserve more than a quick backup. They deserve a thoughtful backup photo strategy.

🚧 The Problem with "Temporary" Backups

You might think you have your photos backed up—but are they truly safe?

• External hard drives WILL crash—most only last 3 to 5 years on average, depending on usage and conditions. (Backblaze Study)

• Phones can be lost, stolen, or dropped.

• Subscription clouds (like Google or iCloud) don’t guarantee long-term access to your cloud photo storage.

• Platforms change, prices go up, features disappear.

If your backup depends on technology or services that aren’t built for permanence, your family memories may still be at risk.

💽 Use the 3-2-1 Rule for Safer Storage

A smart backup photo strategy follows the 3-2-1 backup rule:

• 3 copies of your photos

• 2 different types of storage (e.g., cloud + external drive)

• 1 copy stored permanently offsite

This layered approach helps protect against accidents, device failures, and the unexpected. But here’s the key: not all clouds are equal. To truly follow the 3-2-1 method, you need one copy stored in a permanent photo storage solution.
