My own recent experience with Jungle Disk and the boss's laptop full of unedited family pictures has not been without trouble.
First, some people just don't have the dedication to process any of these pictures. Upon investigation, I found folder after folder full of huge pics of really dumb stuff like the dog in 30 poses, etc. etc. So that meant the initial backup would take some 24 hours on her DSL. Okay, if it went without a hitch. But it didn't. I don't know whether to blame JD or S3, but I had no choice but to tell her to offload all that crap to DVDs. She won't, but she also won't miss 99.9% of those pics when the laptop dies. On Mon, Sep 8, 2008 at 4:30 PM, P Yasuda <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > For photos, consider storage in the cloud.
