How Do You Back Up Your Photos?

I've gotten to a point where I've almost run out of room on my hard drive again. One of the culprits is my pictures folder. Some of the pictures, such as wedding pictures, I obviously want to make sure I never lose. How do Mod-Bloggers back up their critical photos? Right now, the solution I'm looking at is Flickr Pro plus 2 backup CDs / DVDs. One to be kept here and one to be kept in another location.

On another note, I was happy to find out that if you let your Flickr Pro account lapse, they still keep all of your photos, they just don't show them to you until you renew. My heart stopped and then raced for a few minutes while I worried about that. Glad to have the account renewed with all of the pictures and a free 3 months for renewing to boot.

  2. Flickr is also my preferred option, because it serves as both offsite backup and source of backup DVDs.

    But Kodak Photo Gallery is FREE (if you occasionally buy an item from them, once a year or so) and does the same thing. Problem is that they do not allow photo sharing the same way Flickr does.

    Honestly, some kind of photo-sharing or storage website is a key resource for any photographer these days. Whether FTPing to your own server, or buying a chance to use someone else's.
