Online backup

[Rad2474]

Anyone use one of the free online backup sites? last year my hard drive went and i lost a lot of photo's so i've been thinking about backing them up online but never tried it before.

Never used the online sites so can't comment, how many photos are you talking about ? what sort of storage space do you need ?

Get your own external hard drive mate, it's much easier to use and you never pay again for it. I have norton that backs up to their own servers but I hit the space limit and they want me to buy more, so I've unchecked the box and it doesn't backup any more.

external hard drive 1tb items - Get great deals on Computing, Consumer Electronics items on eBay UK!

1000GB backup for around £60.

Just make sure you don't buy from a seller in hong kong. Seems to be loads of 'em.

You should find plenty of UK sellers with decent feedback though

Only got about 1gb of pictures upto now.

You can install a bunch of hard drives to a PC you know. Might be worth you just getting a second to use as storage perhaps? 1GB isn't much at all. My phone has 18GB of pictures!

LOL, 1 gig, sorry mate didn't mean to smile, I thought we were going to be talking multi multi gigs, as Dan says, fit a couple of extra drives into your pc and back them up to both, just being paranoid, failing that, what about using gmail, just email to yourself and they will be online and secure ??
