OT: what do you folks use to prevent losing your docs/pictures/videos on your computer?

[an]

I don’t have any important docs in my computer, so I don’t really need to back any those up, but you can very well just email them to your google e-mail account. My gmail account now have 7GB of space. That should be enough, I’d assume. With pictures, I use Flickr.com. Not only does it have good layout, which makes it easy to upload and share pictures, if you get the pro account, you’ll get UNLIMITED space for $25/year. I have all 60GB of my pictures up there. You can make them all private or have it public so others can see. They now also let you load video, but I don’t think there’s any place yet that let you upload unlimited HD video.

I’m approaching 500GB of stuff…Yes, that’s right… GB not MB…And no, it’s not porn…(that’s on the other computer….just/kidding)..Hence, I’m trying to figure out a scalable solution here.

What’s the break up of that 500GB? How much is docs, pix, & vids? If majority of it is pix, then flickr will be all you need. Have you checked out Amazon S3? if all 500GB are really that important, S3 might be worth it. Seems to be ~$75+/month, depending on how often you access those data.

my easiest solution has been to have the other house computer with like a 1tb drive or 2 and drag and drop the important directories over the house network.
Though for that size I would do it right before bed.
