Not a bad idea bb, but remember guys that while we out here in the world of 1's and 0's try our best to make sure your data is secure, online storage is not guaranteed by the groups that offer free service, yes it is not everyday that a sight is lost, but it does happen. Do yourself the favor of keeping your fate in your own hands...no regrets later on.
Personally guys I keep data in two places, we keep online storage as well as offline, if the outside service goes we have the offline optical storage to go to..on the business side we keep a third for quick access...still on tape.
I have been in IT management for a long time and have seen more than one person screaming about there data being dumped by an online service, for data that can not be replaced treat it as you would any other valuable...keep it safe. Ok..now that's my two bits from the working side of things...So Steve can we expect to see a little of what you thought you lost??
Sorry but I usually charge for such advice
