Thank goodness...
I am so very relieved to have finally gotten my pictures from Memory Manager 2.0 to MM 3.0 on my computer. It was not looking good there for a couple of hours and the thought of losing 4 years worth of pictures was enough to cause quite an adrenaline rush and racing heart! So even though I somehow managed to copy all of the pictures on the original backup twice and now have 3000+ duplicate photos to delete I am just relieved to have them there at all. Now to just get them all printed so I can get to work on the scrapbooks!

Glad you didn't lose them! Work on scrapbooks...that's something I haven't done in forever and NEED to! I miss it. I need to just make time to do it.
I get panic attacks sometimes, thinking about all the photos I could lose. I've been digital for so many years, but have only printed out a small handful of photos in all those years. I try to make backups, but I'm always worried that the DVD will end up scratched or the backup device will itself fail too. Sigh. So many pictures and I would be heartbroken to lose any.
Are you really going to get them ALL printed out at once?! Wow! Glad you didn't lose anything :)
Stacy-
I have printed some of them over the last few years, but since I have not kept them organized once they have been printed I have no idea what I have and what I don't. I will likely try to sort what I do have and not print those, but if my patience wears thin before that is done I may just print them all and call it good! And from now on, I am going to print all of my new pictures once a month to try to avoid going through this again!
Okay, so I don't really understand the ins and outs of what you were doing, but I understood enough to give a big WHEW!!!
I still cry over the year+ worth of photos we lost. And you know, you've reminded me that I really, really, really need to get ours sent off again as its been several months.
I once thought I might lose all my photos. I am now borderline neurotic about backing them up. I upload to my laptop, using Picasa, which automatically syncs to my Picasa Web Albums. Then, once a month I hook up the external drive & copy all the new photos over there too. Three copies, three separate places. I figure (hope!) they can't *all* fail at once! (::gulp::)
