Data Backup

[jamiefrost]

At the moment I have all of the family photos on my main PC (250Gb raid 1 - dell m/c onboard raid controller) and backed up to a external NAs drive. I'm not too concerend about a single hard disk failure as I think it is fairly well covered (i think).

What I am concered about is fire / theft does anyone now of any online storage photos are the only really important things. Preferably free but a reaeonable charge would be ok.

Thanks

KodakGallery, Shutterfly etc all do that. The thing they don't do is digital recovery of the full image but you can print etc.

Have you thought about another drive or DVDs and storing them at your work, your parents, a friends etc.

Though about storing them off site at work etc but I like the idea of something fairly automated that I can do every month (photos are filed by month), i know I wont keep up a manual backup scheme

I will have a look the sites you suggested thanks

Personally I use WSFTP Pro's syncronise utility, it's scheduled once a day to check certain directories and syncronise them with remote directories... I use it to store business/personal data to a remote site and also the back-up webservers to my own PC as a back-up

I use a backup utility that automates the backup to my nas drive on my home network is the remote location thats the problem for me.

I use amazon S3 via jungledisk for backing up important stuff like that.

alternatively if its just one computer you wish to backup from try Mozy that was pretty good when I used (although that was a fair while ago now)

Or there is a cheaper option. Backup to DVD or Blueray and then stick in in your car or at your sister's house, etc. Offsite backup.

Thanks for the suggestions, I would prefer something online as I know I will not keep a manual DVD etc up to date.
