When did I last back up photos?

You should back up photos every month. Forgetting to do this can lead to losing memories if a drive fails. Track it once and never wonder again.

Why Tracking Matters

Tasks like back up photos are easy to forget because they're infrequent. A simple log turns a fuzzy memory into a clear record you can trust, helping you avoid losing memories if a drive fails.

The recommended cadence is every month. Track it each time you complete it and you'll always know exactly when you last did it—and when you should do it next.
