Eg. You access it via z:\ or something like this?</p> <p>If so, then it will work.</p> <p>Or do you have a NAS? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-save-all-your-digital-pictures#post-1418940 Wed, 12 Feb 2014 19:33:00 +0000 regberadaisy 1418940@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@sunny: Hm. I don't like that it needs to be first on my computer.

All I know is that it automatically runs and backs everything up. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-save-all-your-digital-pictures#post-1418239 Wed, 12 Feb 2014 14:47:23 +0000 sunny 1418239@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@locavore_mama: Carbonite is a paid service that provides cloud backup for your data. Crashplan is basically the same thing.<br /> Unlike Dropbox, you must keep a copy on your computer, don't rely on Crashplan or Carbonite as an extra drive. However, obviously if you lose your data either through drive loss or accidental deletion, you can restore the file.</p> <p>Dropbox is prohibitively expensive as you increase your storage requirements. For us, CrashPlan is $60/yr and Dropbox was going to cost us $500+. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-save-all-your-digital-pictures#post-1418230 Wed, 12 Feb 2014 14:44:20 +0000 MrsF 1418230@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@locavore_mama: I think it's like dropbox but DH liked carbonite better because of the way that it's encrypted or... something? Someone correct me if I'm wrong - = computer stuff is my DH's area :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-save-all-your-digital-pictures#post-1418140 Wed, 12 Feb 2014 14:17:57 +0000 regberadaisy 1418140@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Everything is backed up on a external hard drive.

I've been lax about the latter lately though, so it's probably time for a backup. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-save-all-your-digital-pictures#post-1418094 Wed, 12 Feb 2014 14:08:10 +0000 Mrs. Oatmeal 1418094@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We save on both laptops, in Dropbox, and on a removable hard drive.
