Most families lose their photographs slowly — a dead phone, an unpaid cloud subscription, a drive nobody plugged in for six years. Archiving is not a technical hobby; it is the whole point.

- On two different kinds of storage.
- One of them somewhere else entirely.
- Check that the offsite copy actually restores. Once a year. Really.
