  • I try to follow the "3-2-1 Rule".

    Here's an example for backing up raw footage,

    Shoot footage on SD cards. Copy all the files to 2 different hard drives and store at the office. Bring the SD cards home and store in a fireproof/waterproof container with silica gel (prevents condensation).

  • 3 copies exist (1 primary that I work of off, and 2 backups)
  • 2 different media types are used (SD cards and Hard Drives)
  • 1 backup is stored offsite at home

    Raw footage doesn't change and is too large to upload to the cloud, but your project files are small and change frequently.

    Install Dropbox onto laptop and desktop. Save project files in Dropbox folder.

  • 3 copies exist (1 copy on laptop, 1 copy on desktop, 1 copy on Dropbox servers)
  • 2 different media types are used (hard drive, cloud storage)
  • 1 backup is stored offsite (Dropbox cloud)

    Dropbox syncs automatically and has versioning.

    I don't backup my scratch/cache files. If something happens, they can easily be recreated after linking your raw footage back to your project file.

    I'm speaking as a one man crew. I'm sure there are better ways to do it for large studios.

What to keep

Keep anything related to taxes for at least 5 years. This is important for verification, as well as possible audits.

Keep anything related to bank accounts, credit cards, loans/mortgages, pay stubs, and other financial stuff for as long as the account is active, plus at least one fiscal year.

Keep any bills, even after they've been paid, for at least a year. You need them to contest charges, and often information on bills is used for identity and account verification.

Keep all identification records (IDs, SS cards, birth certificates, passports, official change of address forms, etc.) in a safe, secure location that can still be accessed at need. Don't carry them with you (except driver's license), or you risk losing them and giving someone an easy way to steal your identity.

Keep everything having to do with your house, apartment, car, boat, or any other large property that you own/rent and have to register or pay taxes on, for as long as you own/rent it.

Keep the warranty info and proof of purchase for any expensive things you own, for the duration of the warranty.

Keep copies of any personal medical documentation, unless you are covered by a provider that uses an electronic medical record. And even then, it's good to have a paper copy for backup and personal reference.

It's also a good idea to keep a copy of anything that you have signed, for as long as is relevant.

And of course, if you ever get involved in any sort of legal trouble, audit, lawsuit, divorce, or anything along those lines, KEEP EVERYTHING.

The bottom line is: If you can imagine a plausible reason why you might need it in the future, for reference or verification or proof of something or evidence or anything else, you should keep it. If you have a good file system, it won't take up much room or time, and you'll be very happy you did when that future situation comes up.

What to keep it in

If you only have a few people's papers to worry about, I suggest one of these or something similar. It's a latchable bin or box with built-in rails for hanging folders. If you are worried about security, it might be worth getting one of these, a fireproof (and waterproof) safe. It won't keep someone from walking off with the entire safe, but it prevents casual pilfering, and protects your important documents in case of a fire or flood.

Drawers or file cabinets are useful for larger organizational systems, but a household will almost never need something that large, and they tend to be bulky and hard to move around.

Do not, under any circumstances, try to store anything medium- or long-term in open paper trays. They won't stay organized, as it's too easy to just toss stuff on top, and if you need to move it around it'll just end up in a pile somewhere.

How to organize it
First, get some hanging folders for general categories and file folders for subcategories. They are very cheap. You can get different colors for fancy organization and scrapbooking, but it's probably not worth it. As long as they have tabs for writing labels on, you should be fine.

That's all you need. Well, besides the box (and a pen). There are lots of organizational system kits that you can buy for loads of money with colors and stickers and indexes and charts and fancy little view windows, but all you really need are some folders and a place to put them.

Start out with some general categories: Medical/Insurance; Credit Cards; Bank Accounts; Taxes; Bills; Rental/house/car/mortgage stuff; Identification papers; Warrenty/owner's manual info. That sort of thing. And in each category, make a file folder for, say, each bank account, or each credit card account, or each person's medical info, or each company that sends you bills. This takes very little time to set up, but makes it a lot easier to find things when you need them.

The thing to remember when setting up such an organizational system is this: Do what makes sense to you. You're the one who is going to have to remember how to use this system in the future, so file things in a way that makes intuitive sense at the time. If all of your credit and checking and savings and mortgage are through the same bank, maybe the bank should be your major category and each of those accounts should be a subcategory. If you would rather think of it as "things I own" and "things I owe" then that works too. If you want to get rid of subcategories entirely and give everything its own folder in alphabetical order, that's cool. Whatever makes sense to you, do that. And once you have a system, try not to make any drastic changes. You'll have a hard time remembering whether to use the old or new system, and that causes confusion, which leads to apathy, which leads to everything in a giant unorganized pile.

Where to put it

Ideally, somewhere that's near enough to the door or mailbox that you won't just toss things on the table to file later, but out-of-the-way enough that it's not an obvious target if someone breaks into your house. On a shelf is better than in a closet. Again, the important thing is that it's convenient enough that you'll consistently file things rather than leaving them "for later."

And finally

As OP said, it's also a very good idea to have a trashcan right next to the door, or even right under the mailbox, where you can immediately toss anything that isn't worth keeping (junkmail, mailers, credit card offers, etc.). Anything with sensitive info should be shredded or torn up first, of course.

Welll not the most interesting item but you should really have a fire safe to keep your super important stuff safe. (Will, power of attorney, passports, ss cards, savings bonds etc). I have one on my wishlist too bc I've been putting it off for 5 years and need to get my ass on it lol

Kind of like this or this. And if you don't like either of those what do you think of this, which you can keep with a roommate or otherwise not in your room, or even this, which as long as you keep it out of her reach she most likely won't think twice about it.
