Betty,
I was curious and could not find a Lonely Planet vault on Lonely Planet
although I found references to it.
Also I am curious as to why you feel that Lonely Planet vault is more
reliable than the services of a company like Amazon S3 or Mozy/EMC who
have a major professional stake in cloud storage with all the
professional, security, stability concerns and expertise that entails.
Seems like a travel vault would be an automatic first target for hacking
by passport and identity forgers... and that Lonely Planet would not
have the type and quality of IT staff or expertise to stay ahead of them...

Yes, I trust Google to store my stuff. And Amazon. I may store other
stuff with MS when they start offering the service.
In a separate thread, please tell us about your own redundant backup
strategy and why it's better than cloud storage.
I wouldn't trust any free online company to store my important data.
I've been burned many times by making that foolish assumption. I'll
never do that again. There are storage companies that do primarily
storage at a reasonable price and do it well, but it would never be my
only backup.
I do store things online, to share, and for easy retrieval. But to
make that my ONLY location--that's asking for big trouble. I'd never
trust Microsoft. Their online presence and offline programs are too
unreliable. Google and Yahoo, maybe. Amazon, no--they delete things at
random without telling owners; they even changed one of our book
listings without permission. The most reliable place I've stored
things is in my Lonely Planet vault.
