  100 hundreds is a lot printing ;)

  My wife does the same; she has a Snapfish account. She will have them print and mail her the most important pictures from a set, while trusting the ones she doesn't care as much about to our home server and Facebook (the former for long-term storage, the latter for convenient access). Since she has to order a certain number of prints every year to keep the account open, and it comes with unlimited free storage, it works out well for her. The only exception was our wedding photos. We have a set of prints directly from the studio hired to take the pictures, as well as a digital copy on DVD from them. We also have those digital files backed up on our home server, a computer at my parents' house, Dropbox, Snapfish, and both of our Facebook accounts. The photography company also has long-term storage that we would have access to if all else failed. That's about as redundant as we can get without spending a ton of money, but it's more than most people seem to have.

  I laughed at this when I first read it, but it's seriously true. For people that aren't computer literate, physical copies can sometimes be the best form of a backup for digital data.
