| 1127433 | 2010-08-13 22:48:00 | Went to a photo seminar and we were warned about backups in home even if it was unplugged . Where do you store your offsite backups? I may not want to leave my stuff at someone's place . Are there any free online solutions and are they reputable (incl non free ones)? I thought about storing just my most impt stuff . Like if it was a couple of years can I go back and access them? Does anyone use a bank custody vault that they subscribe to? Like storing a portable hdd . Cheers . . . . |

| 1127434 | 2010-08-13 23:18:00 | I take an external hard drive to work and leave it in my desk drawer. Quite a few people do the same thing. | somebody (208) | ||
| 1127435 | 2010-08-13 23:20:00 | Hmm .. not sure if I do that, if it gets into the wrong hands. | Nomad (952) | ||

| 1127437 | 2010-08-13 23:40:00 | Where do you store your offsite backups? I have stuff on 3 HDDs . The internal one, an external that lives in the house and an external that does not live here . Small hassle fetching it to do new backups, but if there was a fire or burglary I'd say both drives in the house will be history . |

| 1127439 | 2010-08-14 00:33:00 | Another good one is a USB flash drive in the car glove box. | Cellux (15145) | ||

X2 (well actually about eight internal ones spread around the house, two external ones and one off-site). |
