I have a layered photo backup process: - New photos live on my laptop (in my Dropbox and covered by Backblaze) - I manually copy photos from my laptop to a RAID array on a server elsewhere in my house when I'm done editing/processing them - The server backs up the photos to S3 S3 is the last bastion, so to speak. I expect that normally, I pull any photos I need back off my server. But the house burns down, I go to S3. I run a cron job on my backup server that picks up all changed files (in my photo storage dir) and pushes them to S3 with s3cmd[1]. It's a pretty 'dumb' process, but works well. The S3 <-> Glacier lifecycle stuff is pretty cool, so the plan is to eventually enable it to deep-archive older photos. [1] http://s3tools.org/s3cmd http://s3tools.org/s3cmd
