What do you mean?

There isn't really any data to be backed up here, except for the web dev things. For that, there are three servers that all exchange rsyncs every night. One is prod, one dev, and one that is just using some spare disk space on one of the arrays at work.

For the photos, the online stuff is the backup. The originals still live either on their negatives, or on SD cards.




You fit your photos on SD cards? wow. my 8GB card fills up pretty frequently.


8GB sd cards are cheap, much cheaper than it would cost me to buy 1000 frames of film.


oh sure. But TB hard-drives are cheaper still.


online is not a backup. there is a reason we back up databases to magnetic tape, store them in remote locations, rotate tapes and test their integrity.
