Excellent video. What would you recommend for someone who only wants to backup personal photos/videos and perhaps some important documents. I don't need the files on my local computer because I don't want to fill up my hard drive. I don't want a NAS because if your house burns down to ashes then you are left with nothing. I store all my photos on two external hard drives. I keep one inside my house and the other one at another place but having an online backup solutions would be more convenient.

Mauricio, Thank you very much for an excellent presentation! I am involved in a small non-profit organization here in Sweden. We are mainly concerned with health issues - some of them a bit controversial. We often "re-publish" material from other sources - quoting them of course. We have been having trouble with KZfaq flagging us. We are looking to have complete control of our material and to make it available to the world and our members of course. So we are thinking of publishing links on our web pages pointing to videos and other material. There is not a big need for collaboration - we handle that anyway. It certainly is an advantage if the servers are outside the USA... So it looks like SYNC right. AWS 3s could work as well - except for the location of the servers. Your suggestions would be very much appreciated! All the best

These are storage solutions, if you've already got one copy it's probably fine to pick any. But if you really care about your data's safety you should look to backblaze or a backup solution. They'll have georedundant copies.

@danielbrucefilms6262 2 жыл бұрын

@@AndrewEvenstar I went with Sync in the end and it’s working really well. When your finished with something on your computer you can move it to the Vault section of sync, it then doesn’t use any space on your computer anymore. So with a hard drive, you just plug it into the computer and tell it to back up straight to the vault and it makes a back up copy for you there (without using any of your computers storage)
