needing back up for old pictures
madatu:
hay guys i have a question. i am wanting to have a back up for old pictures of when my kids were little. i had a hard drive fail a couple of years ago and lost alot. i sent the hard drive out to a big company to attempt to retrieve them but after 300$ it turned out to be a fail. i was at frys the other day asking them options. they suggested a personal i cloud but that isnt 100 % either. i dont really want to have to pay a monthly fee to to a company what do you use or suggest.
The Ghost:
You have a few option.
1) you can build a NAS , since it had a raide ,if a HD fail you only need to put a new one in to rebuild the lost data.
2) you can put then in a cloud. ( i don't like that one because what go into the internet stay) and might have a fee
3) you can have 3 external drive and triple same your stuff.
4) burn to dual layer DVD
Endless Night:
Raid in you machine ... ie 2 drives mirrored. (exact duplicates)
+ External USb backup (synced nightly)
+ If you are extra paranoid (flood theft etc) - Cloud backup.
= At any given time 4 copies of your data.. . never loose anything.
