I was thinking about uploading everything to a folder on my server but I'm not sure if those photos will be too huge. Online backup is something I still need to check out. Jeff if anyone is going to drop it or ose it, it will be me! But I guess I've just got to risk it. ;-) Holy crap Jen... my, what a big hard drive you have! Gustafson that’s a good idea.

Afterwards I bought a 320 GB external hard drive, and this past month I bought ANOTHER external, this one 500GB. Not to mention I bought 1 terabyte of server space . Am I scared? Yes. But I am prepared! I’ve had my old desktop computer die with the blue screen of death and I lost a lot of good pictures that way.

It won't be as handy as a portable drive, but you will be taking advantage of your hosts data redundancy. Then if you back up anything new once a month or so, you will always have a copy. Since most of my work deals with websites, all of my work is backed up on the three machines I work with on a regular basis as well as on my server. -- Gustafson http://www.TheVeiwFromHome.com I would advise storing a backup on a hosted server in a folder with limited permissions… that way you have access to everything anywhere that you have a connection.
