Thanks all! I am giving Flickr a whirl.

That is one happy man!  Great photo.

Congratulations, Bob.

flickr is pretty decent as well: https://www.flickr.com/

I host my own photos using piwigo photo gallery software.

This peaked my interest. Do you have a server at home where you put them? If so, how do you handle offsite backup?

I have several servers in my basement, yes.

I back up my files locally to a powerful FreeNas server with 6 HDDs in it (raid-z2) that's in my basement, then use an rsync script to sync my data to an offsite raspberry pi with a huge HDD (4TB) attached to it that's installed at my grandfather's house. the raspberry pi is currently in my basement while I tweak a script. I also then send that data to a backblaze b2 bucket for even more redundancy. data is important!

Sounds like a really nice setup. That would exceed anyone's standard for data protection. Backblaze' data center in on the west coast, so you certainly have geographic separation.

I'm in the tech business, including disaster recovery. It never ceases to amaze me at the lack of protection many companies have for their data.

My friend sent me these a couple of days ago when I texted him asked him what he was up to...



I think he has a computer problem like I have a vintage shaving gear problem. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯.

backblaze was the cheapest solution I've found for backing up & restoring data. they also allow for 10gb of free space per month so I have a script set up so I never exceed that amount...

looks like he's running a smaller nas box. it'll work!

Drobo I think.

Heard nothing but heartache.
