I just ran across this post on backups as I’ve been struggling with it myself for a while. Not sure about the cloud solutions, especially for photography libraries (my Aperture Library is almost 300GB now).

I have a fairly convoluted system that’s working for me (explained it here http://bit.ly/uwxMnu)

I’ve been trying to find an easier, better, more automated way but haven’t really cracked it yet. The video gave me a few good ideas. Thanks!

Ah, you noticed, eh? That’s good ol’ Canadian craftsmanship, that. We can bend aluminum like nobody! Here’s the link: http://www.koolsink.com/

I love it. And when traveling it slides over my laptop and protects the display lest some idiot put a heavy bag on top of mine. It’s made for heat dissipation but it’s nice for just giving a bit more angle to the thing.

David,

Glad I could help. I should also add that they will keep your existing folder hierarchy intact while they transfer your archive from a hard drive. The cost is 100$ per drive.

Well now, Claude, you’ve taught me something I did not know. I haven’t looked into the nitty gritty of online storage so had no idea Photoshelter would do this but suddenly the whole thing makes more sense to me. Still, I’d love to sit down with someone like Vincent Laforet and find out why and how he uses the system he does.
