1279887	2012-06-07 00:19:00	^+1 Yeah buy another hard drive, would be more flexible.	Gobe1 (6290)
1279888	2012-06-07 01:49:00	Why not just upload your images to G+?	Chilling_Silence (9)
1279889	2012-06-07 03:38:00	Not on G+. I wouldn't really use it.	Nick G (16709)
1279890	2012-06-07 04:18:00	Who cares if you don't use it or not, it's free backup for your photos? :D	Chilling_Silence (9)
1279891	2012-06-07 04:36:00	at full res? Who cares if you don't use it or not, it's free backup for your photos? :D	Nick G (16709)
1279892	2012-06-07 04:39:00	Nah resizes them to 2MP. Otherwise look in to Picasa, it'll do them at full-res, but it costs a little...	Chilling_Silence (9)

Its very unlikely that both would fail at the same time. Because it's in a different place. Are your 2 external hard drives in the same room\building etc? - if so, they could easily both be lost at the same time in the event of burglary, fire, flood etc.	Agent_24 (57)

The chance of losing both a physical and a cloud backup is lower than losing two physical backups.	Nick G (16709)
