I get where you're coming from with the photos, but I think I would miss photos lost from a failed hard drive more in 50 years than I would records of who I shipped packages to. I too have learned the hard way the value of a back-up system that is updated regularly. I just don't get as sentimental about old business records.  |
I wouldn't say I am sentimental about business records, it's more keeping an almost foolproof (fire, flood, and theft being the fools that disprove it) methods of saving the records in case they are ever needed. I don't delete email and have had to look back 5 years and got my information, so it's sort of like insurance. It's seems like a waste until the day you need it, then you're glad you have it.
