I'd be grateful to hear some picture BU strategies that people are using for in house storage rather than a service.
Thanks

I have an external hard drive that I use. I also use an external drive for my regular hard drive backup that has my regular start up drive. I use a a "Newertech Voyager Q" This can be seen at: eshop.macsales.com/shop/NewerTech/Voyager/Hard_Drive_Dock Works for both Mac and PC. Watch the small video on the site for the closer look. This way i can just buy internal hard drives at the cheaper price and store them wherever I want. As you might have surmised - I have all my photos on one hard drive and the rest of my programs on another. I have that convenience as I have a Mac Pro tower that has room for 4 hard drives. If you have any questions, let me know. PS - I use a program for Mac's - *SuperDuper" that makes fully bootable backups. I'm sure there are programs for PC, also. And planning for a hard drive failure is a requirement! ~bruce. |

I use both a local and online backup. Local backups ensure you have your data even if the service fails or gets closed. Online protects you from a local catastrophe (fire, flood, etc.)
I use both a second hard drive in my computer and a USB drive, with a very basic program called FreeFileSync (Windows).
