My entire gallery show almost crashed because of a corrupted PSD file.
I was setting up my digital art display at the Austin gallery last Friday when my main piece, a 200-layer cityscape, wouldn't open. I had to rebuild it from a week-old backup in the 30 minutes before the doors opened. What's your go-to method for backing up complex project files?

Cold sweats" is right, but a week-old backup is too old for a live project. I keep two backups, one from the end of every work day and a full archive from the week before. That way you only lose a day's work at most.

A friend at a print shop told me they do a local backup every hour and an off-site one at the end of the day. Losing a whole day's work would still be a disaster for them. That extra step seems worth the hassle.
