Stone tablets are the only media I know of that lasts 1000s of years.
In all seriousness, this isn't a popular opinion around here, but cloud storage. I back my photos up to both iCloud and OneDrive. This way there is triple redundancy if you include the local copy. I trust Apple and Microsoft a lot more than myself to protect my data from spilled beverages, floods, fires, other acts of god, or just my own stupidity in general.
- xupybd 3y agoI think you might be right. Redundant cloud storage seems to be the way to go. I wish there was something a little more passive.
- BOOSTERHIDROGEN 3y agoHow do you backup photos to onedrive ? Did you copy from Photos app on Mac to another drive?
- serallak 3y agoThe onedrive app on Android has a "camera backup" functionality. It saves images and videos from any folder to the onedrive cloud. I've configured it, and then I sync the onedrive to a Synology Nas at home.
- scarface74 3y agoAny pictures from my phone get synced to: - iCloud Drive - OneDrive - Google Photos - I still haven’t gone over the 15GB free space since Google instituted the limit. But I’ll pay for extra storage when needed. - Amazon Drive - free with Prime My videos get synced to everything but Amazon Drive.
- borplk 3y agoBad idea because even if they don't lose the data you may lose your access to the account due to things like random account suspensions.
- lockhouse 3y agoWhich is why I recommend redundant cloud storage. There's a lot of options out there, pick 2. I like iCloud for the integration and convenience and OneDrive because it comes bundled with Office 365.
