a word of warning. backup your files! i lost the last 5 plus months of my photoblog due to drive failure and my failure to create a backup of the site. Luckily I did not lose any of the images. HOWEVER, any drive can go at any time so heed my warning all you digital shooters.
I decided to post a little different version of my technology Saturday series. This time, instead of a photo of a piece of technology, I'm posting a photo of a technology service.
After my computer died last year, I realized my photo collection was not backed up, and quite venerable. Thankfully, my computer failure was not the hard drive, and my photos were intact. When I built the new machine, I needed to plan a backup solution. After considering many options, I decided to go with Dropbox.
SInce I use Lightroom, I keep my entire library in my dropbox folder. As I import new photos, they automatically upload to the cloud. I don't have to remember to make backups as I go along. As an added bonus, the Dropbox folder also syncs back down to my linux laptop, so I can access all my photos with Corel Aftershot Pro.
The downside is the monthly fee. Right now I'm paying $10 per month. And as you can see in the photo, I'm using over 80% of the space. Eventually, I'll have to upgrade to the $20 per month plan (though I'll go for the $200 annual fee). And part of my space is a 48GB bonus I got from buying my phone last year, and that expires next year. As my collection gets bigger (almost 16 thousand photos now) I'll have to consider other options.
I'd be curious what others use for backing up your photos. Also, I have to say, I'm not advertising Dropbox, but if you are interested in trying it, use the following link. It will give you a bonus 500MB of storage in addition to the 2GB of space on the free account. And it will give me an extra GB. :)

This old machine was fascinating and looked it could fire up even after 20+ years of just sitting there
The queue of last-generation hard drives waiting to be backed up. I should be able to fit them on to 2x 750GB drives.
A short break from Portugal photos...
Today my hard drive with the whole collection of photos suddenly died. Most of the file looks like on the picture above. Photos contain black cut-outs, there are also bad coloured stripes.
CrystalDiskInfo application says, that there are some reallocated (bad) sectors. Status of this hdd is "failed". Well, that happens sometimes...
PHEW! Luckily I have a backup of all my photos on another drive. I lost only a few unnecessary raw files.
Dear Flickr users, always remember to make a copy of your important documents. Have a nice weekend :-).
