I donno if you ever found yourself in the situation where you have to clean up the digital info you receive. When I say infos I mean: Software/Music/Pix/Articles etc etc....that is stored onto the pc.
Since this weekend seems to be a calm one over here, i.e. no gigs no partying, I am profiting to reorganize my "logistics", reorganizing and managing all this.
I usually do this once a year, and it is not easy coz I find myself sinking in files spread around the house on cds, memory sticks or hard drives. Even my main pc and laptop become so filled with info that I dont have anymore space disk to work with...
And now that I have gathered all this in one place I see a 1 meter and 1/2 tower of cd boxes that I have to go through, delete duplicates, archive oldies (music), backup pix etc etc....
I donno, but for me this reorganizing information thing that I call my "workshop day" is really time consuming and I cant afford not to do it at least once a year otherwise I will saturate my pc, my internal network, my music, my files and will definetly get lost sooner or later....
According to the amount of info that I have to reorganize, it will take me probably a few days before my hubby and I complete this task.
You guys, users, djs, artists, do you face similar issues on ur pcs?
How do u manage all this quantity of info and files, i.e. music/software/pix etc etc...?
Do you copy them onto dvds to store them or you use a tape backup device? Buy external hdds and use a sync system for that? Do you manage your files periodically? If yes how often?
