I use dropbox.com for all of my important docs. synchs multiple local devices to a cloud server. i put files in my dropbox at work, they synch to three computers instantly (home laptop, work laptop (primary), home desktop) Home desktop is backed up to a NAS that's in the shed and connected to the house via Ethernet. Overkill? Not really. I lost a disk drive of photos from 2003, the year my daughter was born, and while I was able to recover some of them, I lost forever about 100 of them. I know they are just photos....but...but....


Few non-living things are more important than my pics. I would even put my pics above identification because passports, etc., can be replaced. If my house and belongings suddenly vanished, the value of my pics would increase tenfold.

I'll have to check out dropbox. I'm a fan of redundant back-up in multiple locations.
