Hi, there. I'm glad you have such sweet memories. The photos that make you want to treasure them must be very important to you. In order to ensure that these photos or videos can be kept in a very safe state for a long time, I suggest that you customize the backup scheme for these files according to the 3-2-1-1-0 golden backup rule.

The meaning of the 3-2-1-1-0 golden backup rule is as follows:

• 3 means: you should keep 3 copies of your files at least.
• 2 means: you should use 2 backup storage media at least.
• 1 means: you should keep 1 data backup offsite.
• 1 means: you should hold 1 backup of the media offline or air gap.
• 0 means: you should ensure the backup has 0 errors.

Therefore, based on the above theory, if you want to ensure the security of your photos and videos comprehensively, I recommend that you save backups in these 3 places: local disk, external hard drive, and cloud space. Keeping a copy of your data in these 3 places ensures that when a copy in one location is at risk, you can also access the data in other ways.

However, you may find it very troublesome to store all data in 3 places, but with the help of EaseUS Todo Backup Home, achieving this goal is quite easy.

EaseUS Todo Backup Home is an outstanding offline backup software that can help you quickly create multiple backup tasks and supports you in setting local disks, external HDD, and EaseUS cloud space as storage destinations. 

This way, as long as you create backup tasks that target photos and videos, EaseUS Todo Backup can back up all your data to multiple locations at once, greatly increasing the security of your data.

On the other hand, you can use the advanced features provided by EaseUS to set more intelligent backup options. EaseUS can automatically back up your files and update the copy content as photos or videos increase.
