[QUOTE="Don Kuykendall_RIP, post: 610317, member: 6277"] I am a firm believer in cloud backup. With any plan you use that is all in house you run the risk of losing everything. Lighting strike could take out all your drives including your RAID system or external backup drives. What happens if someone comes into your home and steals all your computer gear including your drives. You can backup to a external drive and remove it from your house and store it somewhere else but then you have to remember to do it and what happens to the photos of the UFO you shot two days ago but have not been carried off site? I presently am using Crash Plan. Several people here recommended it to me and I am using it now. It handles all my external drives at no extra cost. It does take a while to get everything backed up originally ust due to the vast quantity of files but it is automated so not something you have to do. My backup stands at 2.8TB right now. It took me about 45 days to get it all there originally. But now it only takes a little time to keep it backed up. [/QUOTE]
