Keep those Precious Photos Safe
Digital cameras make it easy to take photos of the kids, family, events. but you can easily lose it all if your computer crashes.All the precious images you worked so hard to record in pictures, now lost forever.
Most people who do backup their photos do it to CD’s or DVD’s. But this is a feel good measure that does little good. CD’s and DVD’s can start showing errors within three years even when stored in the best of conditions. Anything less than ideal and those errors will come faster.
And sharing your family photos between your computer, your mates, your kids, is just burdensome.Most end up using an online freebie service that makes you give up personal information or resorting to email just to share pictures. But there is a much better way that is both inexpensive and easy to use, Internet Attached Storage.
Internet Attached Storage is the combination of Online Backup, local network disk, and file sharing (like OPENRSM CloudBackup).You add the benefit of backups of your other essential data (documents, files, email) and you don’t have to give away your private information to do so.
Here’s how it works. You create an with an Internet Attached Storage provider.You set up the software provided for Internet Attached Storage on every computer you have.Your computers will then backup automatically and also have a private backup in addition to having the shared family folder.Here is the very best thing of all. You can mark a folder as “shared”.When you do this the shared folder “appears” on all the computers on your account.
No more emailing photos, no more using services that make you give up your privacy. And all the computers have backup for your other important files (like banking, documents, email) as well as having all those photos available from every computer.This keeps disk usage down while having a remote secure copy available if something bad happens (like you crop a photo and forget to rename it).And if you don’t notice that damaged photo early on a original version is still available to you.
Here’s the things you need to remember.Using CDs isn’t smart if you value your family photos. They are easily damaged or warped. Also, recorded CDs can degrade quickly (some in just a couple years).Most photo sharing sites have a cost in control and privacy of your family memories.Internet Attached Storage gives you a safe backup away from the dangers associated with your home or computer. Keeping photos organized makes everything easier because Internet Attached Storage mirrors the structure of your own disk. Ensure you automatically backup new photos, you don’t want to lose pictures because you forgot that one time.Make it automatic so remembering to do it is one less task to do.
Not all Internet Attached Storage has advanced synchronization, automation, folder sharing or network drive features.We’ve looked at many of these services and think you should use OPENRSM CloudBackup.It has the automation, advanced file sharing, low cost, and is easy to use to help you make sure your family photos don’t disappear from your computer.
