Currently I put my photos on CDs and DVDs and back them up to an external hard drive in the basement. Which is all well and good, unless something happens to my house, like a tornado or a fire or some other disaster. Then what? The hard drive is in the basement. My computer is in the house. My photo CDs and DVDs are in the house. I can look for new homeowners insurance until the cows come home, but I'm never going to find insurance that will be able to get my photos back. I think my friend has the right idea - $25 per year is not a lot to pay for peace of mind. Maybe I need that pro Flickr account after all. I at least need to find someplace other than the house to store my CDs and DVDs.
What do you do to protect your photos? Is there a better way than uploading them all to Flickr? I'd love to hear it.
