You need a good indexing system and archive things onto dual firewire drives.
Stuff that you're currently working on can be backed up with SuperDuper or Retrospect or better yet, both.
Good call, matt. I DO archive my "retired" jobs onto multiple FireWire drives, plus a couple of DVDs each, just to be safe.
The current jobs are the ones I'd like to have duplicated on my system drives. My workflow is very, shall we say, "fluid", so sometimes there are multiple editions of images in-process...plus little side-folders for secondary orders. It's a mess.
