STORAGE OF IMAGES

Due to the lack of information about how long CDs/DVDs/USB can hold information, TF Creations recommends you back up your images on another media format other than CD/DVD. TF Creations also recommends making multiple copies of CDs/DVDs every year to insure the images for years to come. TF Creations cannot be held responsible for the failure of CDs/DVDs due to mishandling. It is the client’s responsibility to keep several copies of any CDs/DVDs in more than one location, and back the images up on another format such as a hard drive. This is the same for the use of online gallery. Once the images are in the hands of the client, it is the client’s responsibility to download and save the images. Backing up your images is very important.
