If your photos have a monetary value, you should be using a multiple drive setup with a RAID implementation. There are stand alone products for this, and of course, expensive. Tell me about technology changes, I am digitizing 100 vhs tapes. There is a great book on this, The DAM BOOK. (digital asset management) I watch this subject alot, and find that the use of non-rewritable disc's are most cost effective archival method for now. I know my flow will not work for everyone, but here it is:
Import with simultaneous copy to e-hdd. Edit. Replace original import with edited images, then upload to smuMug. At end of year I burn two dvd,s, one for me, and one for off site. Of course all Lightroom data is backed up also.
It is a real challenge balancing paranoia and budget when setting up a good flow :)

Judging by what's going on in the world there wont be anyone around to worry about it in 1,000 years. Or possibly 100 years. :roll:
