What kind of storage situation do you have/back-up plan for your photos? I am wondering about investing in a NAS solution for simplicity, using external disk as back-up for the NAS solution. The QNAP Ts-451 is on sale at the moment and is of course very tempting. This enables you to RAID5/6 and 10, with 4 bays discs. This including the discs is however expensive investment running you for about 800 us dollars(4x 3TB discs made for NAS in mind). Maybe a price I should be willing to pay considering the ease of use, and the fact that it will be a while until I fill 6TB(raid 6 configuration) with my images.
I have waited and waited untill dedicated NAS would be cheaper, but I guess the mass consumer market isnt there yet, and it will take a while untill it gets really cheap. I could always build a dedicated raid server with selecting the parts myself, however this might be more hazzle and won´t really save me much in terms of money, but of course I will have the added flexibility for future upgrades. How have you solved your storage solution?

When I’m travelling I use a 32gb flashdrive and backup whenever possible. At home I have a 1TB hard drive that lives in a lockbox.

I’ve been putting off a real plan for backing up. If my hard drive goes so do all my photos. It’s not that it’s too expensive…I’m just too lazy 🙂

You can always do the same trip again, of course, and come back with new photos 😉

I prefer to keep a back-up definetly. Especially since I have many photos of family, and we tend to change with age. Which makes it impossible recreate these images 😀

Sounds interesting 😉 But I try to keep things simple (and a bit cheaper…), really… I have 2 external harddisks of a TB each. One is permanently connected to the PC and has all my data, for daily use, also all my photos. That way I have the PC internal HD breathing easier for all the software. The second one is regularly connected for a backup of the first disk and then disconnected. If I wanted to be supersafe, I should have another backup hidden somewhere outside the house 😉 But there are no 100% safeties in life, are there? And, as I don’t think I’m producing historical data that will shake the world, it seems enough to start over, really 😀
Maybe not exactly your line? 😉
