Jeffrey Totaro on Data Storage Strategy
36Jeffrey Totaro, an architectural photographer, has developed a robust storage and backup system for managing his digital images and client data. In a presentation shared with This Week in Photo, he covers his storage strategy and the hardware he uses, including Drobo from Data Robotics. Totaro’s system can be scaled down for those just starting out or interested in dipping their toes into storage solutions. He has been working with digital storage for 20 years, having dealt with DVDs and manual backups before transitioning to more automated solutions.
