Thanks for all your information Brian. To be clear on my end: 1. 3 separate copies means: one on computer, two on external backups with one of those off=site? 2. Taking photos off of "Pictures" would mean copying to Mac HD and to External HD? 3. I hear you about the 'big camera, whoa etc". Makes me want to get a mirrorless but to be honest I'll probably continue with the D750 until it conks out. I can't thank you enough for your detailed answers. Cheers!

Hi Brian, I have a 21.5" Mac, 2017, 16 Gb memory, graphics Radeon Pro 555 2 GB, 3 GHz intel Core i5 processor - Big Sur, vers. 11.3 1. I have been using the slot in back for my SD. card. Is this ok, or should I get a separate card reader? If so, is there a card reader you would recommend that includes SD, XQD and CFexpress - all of them? 2. I also have been using "Pictures" for my photos. It looks like my HD might be getting towards the full end of 1 TB (318 GB left). I have one WD 4TB backup which is on Time Machine (my other one quit). I also use Backblaze. I think my photos should be on more than one backup to free up my HD. Would you recommend Lacie backups? Size? (BTW, I have a Nikon D750 - 24mp camera). Also, I have PS 2021. Thanks so much for your help. I'm trying hard to get more up to speed technically.
