Does anyone who use Flickr use another image company as a back up and if so which one and how easy it to import from flickr?
About as easy as it is to upload to.Does anyone who use Flickr use another image company as a back up and if so which one and how easy it to import from flickr?
I do store images locally and I have them on an external hard drive a few miles from my homes as well, but I would like extra backup.I don't have an especially useful answer here but curious to know why you would need a back up? Are you not storing image files locally?

Generally advise you need to be on a fibre connection, but Crashplan/Backblaze and more do online incremental backups, Crashplan is $60 a year, renewal come up yesterday and it was a no hesitations renewal for me. Can then keep the hard drives locally then so you've always got instant access to your local backup, and your online Crashplan (or other) is then your total loss fire/theft/flood protection.
Crashplan has also saved me enough times where their backup is actually more current than my local backup.
Crashplan does seem like reasonable value at £3.85/month ($60 per year based on current exchange rate).
Though I am on ADSL (under 1mb upload speed ) I am thinking as an extra layer of backup security I should be adding CrashPlan to my structure??? Yes, it will take a long while to backup everything I will need to but you have start somewhere if adding cloud storage
Having recommended Crashplan, I got an email yesterday informing they are bailing from the consumer market and closing CrashPlan for Home (that's the $6 per month deal)
They are recommending moving to Carbonite or 'upgrading' to their small business service ($10 per month) with discounted subscriptions for the first year on both if you are an existing Crashplan customer.
