This is a screenshot of my photo backup list. I am trying to be diligent about backing up my photos both in my house and offsite (in case of fire, theft, etc)
Over the past couple years I have played with most programs and options from my web hosting company to carbonite. (and others). I have finally settled on JungleDisk and S3 from Amazon.
S3 is the storage solution provided by Amazon, JungleDisk is a piece of software used to access S3.
A couple things to note on this:
1. 2000 and 2002 I was slacking on photos, and I apologize.
2. 1081 files from a Kodak DC 290 2MP camera in JPG format is WAY smaller than 1270 files from a 6.4MP Digital SLR shooting in high-res JPGs and RAW. Funny to see the size difference.

Disclaimer: The photo albums in this Flickr account are not intended to be collections of my best hand-picked images. Such images are included but the vast majority of images, 4800 and counting, commingled amongst the few gallery-worthy images, are snapshots, bad shots and missed shots (the bad shots containing some element of the composition that strikes my fancy despite its flaws thus saving it from the Recycle Bin and the missed shots being those photos where the exposure and/or DoF were not completely appropriate). There is trip documentation and there are pure experiments (including multiple treatments of the same scene such as different angles, different post processing, different times of day, sunrise/sunset progressions, zoom progressions, etc.). This account is basically a secondary backup location with convenient captioning, titling & EXIF capabilities.
About 5 years ago I ripped all my music CDs to FLAC audio so I could then convert them to Ogg Vorbis or MP3 or whatever the format du jour was.
Just recently found out that some of the flac files on my hard drive are now corrupted - which is annoying.
Fortunately I took backups so instead of having to re-rip lots of music CDs I can copy files from DVDs.
Each disk holds around 8 albums and there are around 30+ so it's a pain but not as bad as re-ripping all my CDs.
