Hopefully I'll get some ideas from this thread! :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-back-up-your-photos#post-621116 Thu, 07 Mar 2013 14:33:55 +0000 littlebittyhouse 621116@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>subscribing to find out more about back-up options! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-back-up-your-photos#post-621110 Thu, 07 Mar 2013 14:32:55 +0000 teamjse 621110@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It's automatically uploaded from my phone to Picasa. We pay for additional storage in their cloud. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-back-up-your-photos#post-621098 Thu, 07 Mar 2013 14:30:34 +0000 yin 621098@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@FutureMrsMcK: I bought a 3 terabyte external hard drive from Costco. I can't remember if it is a Western Digital or Seagate, but both are reliable companies. 3T sounds excessive, but I have all of my back up on there (in additional to a separate external hard drive). I have used 2T so far. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-back-up-your-photos#post-621085 Thu, 07 Mar 2013 14:28:28 +0000 prettylizy 621085@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have dropbox and iCloud and backup on both. I love it, I don't even have to think about it... they just magically get backed up :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-back-up-your-photos#post-621077 Thu, 07 Mar 2013 14:26:41 +0000 Mrs. High Heels 621077@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, I back up my photos in an external HD and also in Dropbox. We paid for additional cloud storage with Dropbox and I think it's so worth it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-back-up-your-photos#post-621075 Thu, 07 Mar 2013 14:26:30 +0000 lovehoneybee 621075@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@yin: Is there one you'd recommend? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-back-up-your-photos#post-621073 Thu, 07 Mar 2013 14:26:11 +0000 sunny 621073@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes!!! We have them on a home server that is RAIDed and back them up to CrashPlan! I sleep better knowing that everything is backed up! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-back-up-your-photos#post-621066 Thu, 07 Mar 2013 14:25:19 +0000 yin 621066@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I back up my photos on an external hard drive and upload all of my edited photos to Flickr as an extra back up. It keeps the original file size, making it super easy for me to access and download any photo I want on any computer. I have a pro membership that allows for unlimited uploads at full res.</p> <p>@FutureMrsMcK: I would recommend backing up on an external hard drive. The quality of the photos on Facebook and Shutterfly are a lot lower than the original files, and it will affect your ability to retrieve them back to your computer if you need the full file. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-back-up-your-photos#post-621041 Thu, 07 Mar 2013 14:21:02 +0000 lovehoneybee 621041@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I upload them to a private FB album that only me, DH and his parents can access, and to a Shutterfly share site and I'm debating getting an external hard drive because only 2 pictures remain of me as a young child (the rest were lost in a waterbed explosion) and I'd be absolutely heartbroken if I lost my wedding pictures and pictures of DS. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-back-up-your-photos#post-621037 Thu, 07 Mar 2013 14:20:41 +0000 Boogs 621037@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, they are on an external hard drive and we are also signing up for an online service I heard about from here. I'm super paranoid with my photos since they are so irreplaceable. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-back-up-your-photos#post-620877 Thu, 07 Mar 2013 14:15:00 +0000 mediagirl 620877@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I always dump my photos to my computer and leave them on my computer and memory card until they're on my hard drive. Then, I'll move them off the memory card. I don't feel comfortable just having them in one place. I often wonder if paying for the cloud would be worth it for some of the best ones... </p>
