There have also been a few not-so-successful attempts to market small wearable devices designed to capture low-res images as people go about their daily lives.

External Backup Storage Under $2500: Desktop, Portable, RAID, NAS, WI-FI & Cloud
Jack Neubart  |  May 23, 2014  |  First Published: Apr 01, 2014

I routinely move content from the computer onto one external drive and back up to a second drive. (I usually prefer to transfer memory card files first to the computer, so that my backups will include these; then I move those files to the external drive when a project is completed, making sure that they are synced to Lightroom.) Unfortunately, the cost of all this may amount to the price of a second camera body or new lens, but it’s money well spent, as you’ll realize the first time a drive goes down.
