<br>
I try and handle this problem by creating an archive at set times.
A 6 month or 12 month backup if you will. I also capture the
output from rsync and dump them into logs. I then use grep to
extract changes and problems and send them to me via email at the
end of the backup. If for some reason I have changes that I can't
account for I can always go back to the archive.<br>
<br>
For more recent files maybe not assimilated into the archive, I
have a rolling daily backup that I can go to if something go awry.<br>
<br>
Lots of versions, I know, but disk space is cheap and now that the
process is relatively automated I don't really encounter problems
any more.<br>

100Mb ethernet through power supply. An rsync script
synchronize at 4:00AM a copy from host computer to the
NAS using a smb mount (300Gb). You just need to take a
care about the SMB mount options for file naming
(UTF8, long file name, rights. etc...) The NAS can be
acceded through WIKI by a MAC and a Windows to show
images through FS. The NAS support also UPNP, so you
can display image with a tablets or a phone.<o:p></o:p></p>

This is fantastic if you only take a 64 GB of
photos every half a year and use the time in
between for the upload :-)<br>
<br>
It is also fantastic if you don't care, that at
least dropbox has access to your files.<br>
<br>
Then it's great that your backup lasts exactly as
long as dropbox lasts - it wouldn't be the first
such service that disappears.<br>
<br>
Even if upload times would increase by 100, I
would never, never, never leave my files somewhere
that is completely out of my control.<br>
<br>
Dropbox and the like for sure is cool to share
some MB of files or for a short time storage of
smaller amounts of data. But it is not all all
suitable for a save backup.<br>
