Dear Grandma,
It is very simple to setup a RAID 1 NAS and an offsite backup. Now that you are retired you have time to read the manuals and setup a cron job from terminal. You will be glad you expended the time and can relax in knowing the pictures of your cat are safe. You will also need to use encryption if you wish to communicate with me further.
Love Jimmy
- kohanz 12y agoI wasn't suggesting that what I've chosen to do is the way to go or that it is accessible to most people. I want to know how the tech-savvy audience of HN feels about this issue.
- prawn 12y agoI suspect that the majority of us know what we should do, but never get around to it. I have photos spread across a dozen storage options, only one of them with any backup in place. My wife deals with hers separately and has no off-site or cloud back up. Between us, we have a lot of photos. I think a lot of people will simply go with the convenient option offered by the big player and risk it (nothing sordid stored in my collections anyway, so security is less of a drama).
