[Leica] Adobe Photography 20GB plan NEW AND IMPROVED!

[Frank Filippone]

While any cloud is not MY cuppa, it is good to keep your important records copied off line somewhere safe, like in the cloud.  Backblaze charges $100 
per year for unlimited storage.  ( if you use a NAS to copy from, they charge about $6 per TB per month).  This is a good deal, but not really super 
cheap.....

For a lot less money ($120 or so, on a one time purchase) , you can buy a cheap USB desktop or portable HDD (WD or Seagate) and find a friend or 
Father.Mother,Sister,Son,Daughter's house to leave it at. Update it as often or infrequently as you wish.

I use a second home as my remote location.  I have a Synology NAS there and another at home.  I sneaker-net the files across to update them.... my 
Internet provider wants a fortune to upgrade the service (speed of service)  such that I could use remote upgrade using NAS to NAS transfers.  This is 
maybe not the cheapest solution, but the NAS costs about $300, 2x 16TB HDD at $200 each, and you have a 16TB fully protected system, forever.  ( 
redundant data storage form the RAID array is another safety protection)

It just occurred to me... does everyone know what sneaker-net is?


I have worked with 2 of our LUG members to completely remotely setup and monitor their NAS solutions.  I would be willing to work with others as 
well.... just ask... cost is $0.
