Online/Off Site Photo Storage

[R & J Photography]

We are looking into the idea of online/off site storage... anyone already doing this? Who are you using? Why?

I use PhotoShelter and love it. Check out their free trial.

zenfolio or smugmug...

my offsite storage is 250GB and growing...

external hard drives that you move to another building...down to under $100 for 500GB!

My backup archives consist of two for everything. One stays at home, one is offsite.

Thanks for your replies... I guess I thought more people did this... I think I like Jesus' idea due to security issues. It would solve the "what if my studio burned to the ground issue, but that still doesn't solve the hurricane issue... If I have a HD at the studio and one at the house and we get a storm ( which is gonna happen) then what? I would still have to remember to "save the HDs". Online in another place seems safer for something like that... but then I guess the question is "what if FILL IN THE BLANK" happens to them?

I used Mozy for a a little while but they were very slow. My backups can be several gigs sometimes and it would take overnight for less than a gig. That could have been on my end too. I'm never online late at night, but I have heard that Clearwire goes down quite a bit in the wee hours.

You might look into Carbonite. I don't currently use them, but they have been recommended by several "computer" folks. Not a bad deal for $49.95 per year.

I use zenfolio: they are fast, unlimited storage, and you can protect any folder you want. Only $35(with the coupon code) per year, well worth it.

You can use my referral code DXK-66Y-1WR during sign up to save $5 off your own subscription.

I also use Zenfolio. I've been happy with them so far. Only two things I wish. 1) Wish I could sell prints with custom pricing from their site and 2) wish they would allow(support) RAW files to be saved.
