[QUOTE="PhotoSnapShot, post: 7757, member: 2595"] Yes Backups, Backups. How important they are, as it sounds like you know this. I use a USB drive on my laptop and than I have a second drive in my desktop that I have networked so I can copy the pictures to the desktop. So at my house I generally have two copies of the files. I am also using Mozy for off site backups, but it is slow to upload when you have a bunch of data but it has saved me some frustration having the off site backups. As for Comcast raising hell there is a 250 gigabytes monthly usage limit, you can go to comcast.net and log in to "My Account" than under the "Users & Settings" tab there is a High-Speed Internet Data Usage bar. I personal have not gone over the limit but one month I came somewhat close. It wasn't because of off site backups, it was because I was downloading to much from e-mule (file shearing I don't do that as much now). The Comcast monthly limits are for residential accounts, Business accounts don't have the same limits. But as file sizes get bigger and keep getting bigger I think external Hard drives are the best way to go. [/QUOTE]
