I just wanted to remind everyone that just one copy is not enough, things happen and in this technological age there is no excuse. I lost almost all of the last two years of portfolios. Some varmints spilled beef broth all over the shelf they were on. I cried all day, as I took pictures of stinky washed out papers....  Just a reminder.

Get yourself a scanner, and a digital camera, and keep a digitised version on your hard drive as well - maybe even a DVD for each year.
You can't be too careful and it also takes up less room!

| absolutely! we keep everything backed up online. the computer smelled funny one day and the next thing i heard was this bang and then i smelled smoke. (almost as bad as beef broth!) except we lost more than just a couple years of papers. we lost the checkbook, pictures of the kids, etc. We now pay our 50 bucks/year for online backup of everything. peace of mind for a small price!! and we can retrieve the info from anywhere we can get internet. |

That sounds like a great idea. Who do you do that through, and how much space do you get?

| I suggest 4 copies. 1 hardcopy, one saved on your computer (scannned) and the other saved as a draft on your email (scannned). Another is to send a copy to yourself via email. This works for me. Not just for school records but for everything important. |

I also keep mine loaded on a flash drive as well that way if anything happens to my hard copy or computer, I still have a copy on hand.
