Currently I'm trying to back up some photos / videos off my phone before we go on our trip. I'm stressing that I don't have enough backups or in enough places.
Currently I've got most of the pictures on my laptop. Which is backed up automatically using timemachine. But then I copy the files to the NAS, which is mirrored nightly to another drive. I also have 2 drives in a fireproof (fire resistant?) box that I backup files to every once and a while. Then I also upload them to flickr / youtube. Oh, and some good ones are in an offline digital picture frame (low quality).
So, that's like 6 different drives and a cloud service. And I don't feel that it's in enough places.
This drives me nuts. I don't think that our parents ever felt this. They keep photos in a box in the basement.
Is it just because I know that it's "easy" to backup them up to multiple places that it stresses me out? Should I just be saying "screw it" and paying for a cloud service and trusting that the other service will take care of it?
Blarg.
Hopefully in a future version of the desktop software, it can de-dup the whole network and put all the media together in a nice way.
