The best sites to store photos online

<p>What are the best sites to store huge gigs of files like 900 gigs, etc or is there another better method such as 200 year blue ray disks. If this is off canon topic please move the approiate catagory. </p>

<p>If you mean DATA storage (not a photo hosting like Photobucket, etc...) try <a href="http://mozy.com/free?ref=451c76aa">this site</a> .</p>

<p>Online data storage is fine, but because most DSL and cable broadband connections severely limit your upload speeds it can take many hours to upload GBs of data.<br>

Find out what your upload speed is before signing up.</p>

<p>Maybe Amazon S3?<br>

<p>with drives being so cheap nowadays I think you are better off keeping that stuff on site as well. You can always make two copies of the data on separate drives and have one in a safety box at your bank.</p>

<p>FWIW, I use a G-Safe's both at home and at work. Two hot-swapable, RAID 1 drives and Firewire 800; I highly recommend it. <a href="http://www.g-technology.com/products/g-safe.cfm">http://www.g-technology.com/products/g-safe.cfm</a></p>

<p>You could just write to DVD's which store up to about 8GB each and cost about 50p each. There is no danger of data damage from viruses if they are write only. They can easily be stored off site and several copies kept.</p>

In seconding some previous comments above... I just bought an external 1.5TB drive for less than $200 at FRY's. I backed up all my photos (700+ GB) overnight - I did two steps and the machine did the rest while I slept. I can now bring that into my office or put it in safe storage somewhere. I can bring that back later and do it again or rotate with another - I just cannot imagine trying to upload that over the net or checking in again and again to keep feeding discs into the machine.

<p>Costco has a 1.5tb Seagate external drive on sale this week for $110 if you have their coupon book. Uusally you can walk in and get the coupon book from them if you don't have one. It's probably worth calling first to check if it's in stock. With that, you can back up everything you have.</p>

<p>I wouldn't start backing up 900GB on DVD as suggested above. That's over 200 DVDs, you really want to be feeding DVDs to the computer for days on end?</p>
