Digital cameras make it easy to record your kids growing up, memorable events, etc., but you cvan find it all gone if a virus hits your computer.  All those priceless photos of your kids, grand kids, and family 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 (like OPENRSM CloudBackup) conbines online backup, network drive, and file sharing features.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 then install the free software that comes with the service on each computer in the house.  Every computer will then automatically back up when you’ve configured and every computer will also have it’s own private backup at the Internet Attached Storage provider show up as a disk on the local system.  Here comes the best part of all.A shared folder can be designated.Doing this makes the folder available on every computer in the house.

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 saves disk space and if your daughter happens to delete one of your photos, the backup copy is only clicks away at your Internet Attached Storage area.So even if you don’t find a damaged picture right away you can copy and paste a previous version back to the original.

Here’s the important things to remember.Relying on CDs isn’t smart if your pictures are important to you. They scratch easily. Also, recorded CDs can degrade quickly (some in just a couple years).  Most online photo sharing sites are free some require that you make a purchase in the future, give up some private information (like selling your email address) etc.Internet Attached Storage provides a copy of your pictures outside of your computer and home.  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 you can’t fail to remember to do it.

Internet Attached Storage providers with network drive, file sharing, automation, and advanced synchronization are in the top tier. Few provide it all.  We’ve looked as many of these services and suggest that you use OPENRSM CloudBackup.It has the advanced file sharing, ease of use, and low cost you need to keep your family photos from being lost forever.
