| 1135288 | 2010-09-07 04:11:00 | Hi all, after losing a few photos from a major crash I am looking for a way to backup just the recently added photos. In "My Documents" I have a folder called "My Photos", in that folder I have a seperate folder for each family member - hobby - club -event - etc. OK I have saved a copy of "My Photos" to DVD (900MB), but how can I add to the DVD any photos I add to any of the folders in say the next month without including the 900MB already saved. In other words how do I keep track of any photos that have not been saved to DVD. Hope you can understand. |

Or depending on number of photos Windows live mesh does about 5gb for free. Or the final solution (and I use this last one) - Carbonite online backup $50USD for unlimited storage. Of course your data caps come into play with this typoe of solution, which is why I did all mine while on big time, since I have bout 10gb worth of photos now (1st born son) @ 5+ megapixels. |

| 1135292 | 2010-09-07 10:14:00 | Google have just ramped up their Picassa Online Web Albums, where you can back up photo's, and share albums, etc. In what way? I still only have 1 gb storage. I prefer the look of Flickr, just find the photo stream idea personally more appealing.....but really love the picasa app with uploading to web albums. |

| 1135294 | 2010-09-07 11:20:00 | Thanks for the replys, I didn't realize it would be so involved, will look into the suggestions, thanks again. | jebby (4580) | ||
| 1135295 | 2010-09-07 19:48:00 | Its only as involved as you want it to be. The harddrive option is a good one. Connect a hard drive run synctoy, and take harddrive away from computer. For a pure 2nd copy perspective this works (you could do it manually....if you remember to do it, and this is a key point). - I've personally found I prefer set and forget, so I went the carbonite (and looked at mozy online) route. But 2nd copies don't help in the event of a disaster etc, this is where getting the 2nd copy "somewhere else" be it a mates house, online in the cloud, your workplace is, I think, a good idea. So the hard drive still works but you again have to remember to make the backups, and take the hard drive away. I know people that ship drives (they drive swap) with backups from other ends of the country, seems overkill to me, but hey, each to their own. |
