I'm reminded today of a customer that spent several hundred dollars to have thousands of feet of his 8mm film transfered to DVD but refused to get a copy for backup. About a year after his transfer was complete, he discovered that he either lost the DVD or it was in his car when the car was stolen. Either way, the DVD was gone!
The morale of this story is to always get two copies of your film transfer-one to view and the other to put away for safekeeping. Most companies, including McKenna Video Services, offer extra copies at significant discounts to normal retail pricing when the order is placed at the same time as the film to dropped off for transfer. And from time-to-time, McKenna Video will offer a free backup copy of your film transfer. Just remember to ask!
Gods blessings,
Chris.

Your warning is very useful advice. I made a copy of my wedding DVD and even made a copy of the disc label. I have them safely stored so if the original gets lost or ruined I can burn a new copy and print out the original label with my Dymo DiscPainter disc printer. Your wedding memories are too important to risk being lost forever. Make a copy!
You are correct Jan111-backup copies of just about every video is vitally important. Its worth noting that quality media should be used, and not the cheap stuff sold in stores.
