\u2018We would urge parents not to play roulette with precious memories, when backing up securely is such an easy and simple thing to do,\u2019 said a spokesperson for Nero, a back-up software developer that conducted the poll.<\/p>\n
A fifth of respondents complained they had lost a treasured image and, despite some social media websites ‘owning your images’, 49% believe Facebook and Twitter to be the safest place to store photos.<\/p>\n
Ninety-two per cent said they used their smartphone to capture precious memories of their children, yet 44% admitted they would lose everything if their phone was lost or broken.<\/p>\n
\u2018On average, each mum captures 1.1 photos a day but 7% will snap over 100 images a month.<\/p>\n
\u2018Notably, a quarter of those surveyed currently have over 200 images saved on their smartphone \u2013 with one snap-happy mum admitting to being one dropped phone away from losing 12,000 photos saved on her phone.\u2019<\/p>\n
Of the 67% of mothers who back up their content, 76% chose computer storage.<\/p>\n
Nero claims many do not consider the pitfalls of storing memories on a single device.<\/p>\n
\u2018Children grow up so fast that losing even a small number of images can cut out a large chunk of a child\u2019s life.<\/p>\n
\u2018Backing up is simple and easy, so there really is no excuse to forget.\u2019<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
