JAKARTA - Along with the times, the way humans remember a moment of the past has changed. In the past, your precious moments may only be immortalized and stored through photo albums and cassettes/CD.

However, along with the development of advanced technology and storage devices, there is a new opportunity to digitize family precious memories so that they are always safe, accessible, and can be shared into future generations.

Approaching the moment of Eid and commemorating World backup Day which falls on March 31, Western Digital as a global data storage company also shares an easy way to digitize family important photos, videos and archives.

Pilalah foto, video, dan archival lama

First, collect all collections of old photos, videos, and documents at home. Then, all physical archives become several categories, for example from year-to-year, place, or special events (year-olds, holidays, and so on).

Select a trusted digital storage solution

Next, choose the right digital storage solution. Some criteria that need to be met are: The storage solution must be large capacity in order to accommodate large numbers of files; have high durability; and practically used.

Recover data when something unexpected happens

One of the advantages of the digitalization process is that we can store all data worth more than 1 copy, so that when unexpected things happen, important files don't disappear immediately.

In fact, based on Western Digital research in 2022, it shows that USB is the main choice of Indonesians for file storage solutions. Where, on average, every Indonesian has 3 USB and 79 percent of them are still planning to add their USB.
