  • It means keeping 3 copies of your files, on 2 different types of media, with 1 stored off-site. This ensures your memories are protected from accidents, theft, or disasters.

  • Most cloud services charge ongoing subscriptions. I recommend FOREVER® because it works differently—you choose the amount of storage you want, pay once, and it’s yours. No recurring fees for storage, no surprise renewals. There are optional premium features, like video streaming and facial recognition, which you can either subscribe to or purchase outright if you’d rather own them permanently.

  • We can help you clean up, organize, and back up what you already have—no need to start from scratch.

  • Yes. I can transfer photos from services like Google Photos, iCloud, and Dropbox into a more secure, organized system.

  • Yes. I provide periodic check-ins or subscription-based monitoring to ensure your system stays current.

  • Absolutely. I only use trusted platforms and follow professional standards for privacy and security.
