My client auto-signs. (It's actually quite impossible to forge a PGP signed message; it may look normal, but it won't decode as valid if you run it through GPG / PGP. This assumes, of course, that you're confident of the key that the person you're communicating with is actually using.) I think PGP messes with the sig delimiter in order to ensure that the start and stop of the PGP is clear to the decoding software. - -- - -Ryan McGinnis The BIG Storm Picture -- http://bigstormpicture.com Vortex-2 image licensing at http://vortex-2.com Getty: http://www.gettyimages.com/search/search.aspx?artist=Ryan+McGinnis -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.10 (MingW32) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org/ iQEcBAEBAgAGBQJMU7q1AAoJEIzODkDZ7B1bJxQH/jSS5DKX2MT0Yq/Eryn/blhc BWMd9JXiqlI4TyO5Mh7VhfZK3W4Z4e+xb0x9LGkHkbirOG8abqHjT6jpsZv7vPVM WDD4ZMjc2E3zaImibbMGCyeJ7BHhDZandNNluo1GmPsB3PJwIq4zciJ03ny/RdJV K9CRogLIOmfCNNcUS5LeQJSqYusPqHwSmnBLlbmoXwr7mlb+4RM6Ws2GfonjcuGQ p2lBnLh4FsNt0AsG7oG0zUD82/qzZxNOzy4zVJYqzTKBdFUlLFdz0w0l71ZDbFg6 zmJ8W8SXsMmfUzkUMyx06/NMEOnkw/8OyBhufDI5tSzJjJQmoyxcGWB8+JNcL0c= =UfH2 -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----

Depends how you run it. I go with one primary drive and one secondary drive for temp backups of new stuff. Every month or so I archive the new stuff to two sets of DVDs, delete it off of the secondary drive, and place one set of DVDs in a bank vault. DVDs are pretty cheap. - -- - -Ryan McGinnis The BIG Storm Picture -- http://bigstormpicture.com Vortex-2 image licensing at http://vortex-2.com Getty: http://www.gettyimages.com/search/search.aspx?artist=Ryan+McGinnis -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.10 (MingW32) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org/ iQEcBAEBAgAGBQJMVLZNAAoJEIzODkDZ7B1bWyAIAJM63rnRUZceKrZ2sfhmI5dP RIacFAA8RS7czKP0PB/JfozVfvkgDvyHyPBwcLZOVjc9LOVp06NejN9Cq3J5rDS6 tIXGEQtinHL6xbeXnvcyq7SmCLkG2pBJxNEvFdHtxGI6J/ya0Rl/8krmd9wllAF5 NYNZqPX9jRA4W5L3BfoUMXsXA+PNvhAAX5Yszbu5K8nKbldZ8KcOIG8W0AGLlTOD 7HgQuN9azuDHrjqjXbbb9/bg8CHQbZLUnmojJNV6QfxCD7Q5tETNJbH4ORRor9/e /WvyhJ7UrL0J1wpcO2qTCGoJVG1LzjCwGXsW9tevEri6QF3tXTBOrXROsv0n5S8= =jEdx -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----

Ever tried to read back your oldest ones? By the time they are no longer readable (I figure 7 to 10 years from burn date) it will be time to shift to a new format. Digital storage is not like film; you don't store it in one form for the entire lifetime of the image. CDs move to DVDs, DVDs probably move to Blu-Ray, perhaps one day it all moves into the cloud (I also have all toned final JPG files stored in the cloud) -- who know what the future holds. But if floppy disks and old tape drives teach you anything, it's that you're going to have to update storage medium with time. - -- - -Ryan McGinnis The BIG Storm Picture -- http://bigstormpicture.com Vortex-2 image licensing at http://vortex-2.com Getty: http://www.gettyimages.com/search/search.aspx?artist=Ryan+McGinnis -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.10 (MingW32) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org/ iQEcBAEBAgAGBQJMVO8MAAoJEIzODkDZ7B1bIfYH/2YA/qH1/oE7QGBEdVsUYcqj 6eYIzKFY5X0WL9d+QcyIp+JQ2wiYUM9RdmiSrumyW1DGyKIBdJ0rUEjNGQHIn95f IhJJauxbjUnwbfrlmULl5CfC5JuUspj1h53JS788QVje8ih9I3TmhrLcilN2g/B5 qRPA053rLopzhhCmnjwklkzdecYPHiHHMWs16PK38ewnKUcTI2fkhfXqXo695Kfi eAKhi+mudI8luxh7e+srjgfHP1HUqTbOjK2DsfS7A1D1x8RHkIqDNFhuC/X9N1HP KYP8PYmzChBAFnhroaLYBzWh+gOQTgi0iUbyvAUFev7VHtA5b8dCyNWZhdesu/o= =eks0 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- |
