Storage of pics

I keep all mine in year and month then what I'm shooting, then I have a raw folder and a jpeg folder.

When editing them from raw they are converted then I put them in a folder I have for finished work.
 
I have a 'Year' folder, then 'Month & event/activity'sub folder, e.g. 'July - Summer Hols'. This helps me to find pics quickly without necessarily having to search any tags for people/events.

I keep all the RAW files in each sub folder - I only really export worked on images when I need them, e.g. Upload direct to Facebook/Flickr etc. or export to a temporary folder on my hard drive for upload to an online printing service. I also have a folder set that my iPad and iPhone sync with so I can have the better pics on there for showing people/looking at myself. Other than that, they stay as RAW files and I view from within Lightroom
 
I'm a bit of a horder......... I've got 13 years worth of photos (including RAWs from the last couple of years) backed up in up to 4 locations :lol:

At the last count there was around 470GB......... That's duplicated across 2 TB HDDs (one of which I keep at my parents in their safe. I also have a 1TB external HDD which stores around 80-90% of my Library and my laptop has around 300GB of my Library.

I've got about 40GB of last season's Rugby photos on my laptop which in think I'm going to cull before this season starts. It's backed up to 3 other locations so I'll try not to hyperventalate too much :lol:
