I want to keep many of my images until my grandchildren are old.
I have spent a good bit of time thinking about this and finally settled on a tape backup system. Currently I have everything on 2 separate machines and a 3rd copy on tape. The weak link now is that everything is here in the same location. If I had a fire or a meteor destroyed my house, I would lose it all.
I need to look at off-site backup of some kind but don't like the idea of another monthly bill.
Maybe we could start backup group within TPF. We each offer to hold backups of others files. I have a TB of drive space going unused right now and can add more pretty easily. I will have to chew on this idea for a while to see if I can come up with an idea that would be safe, easy to use and secure.
