Delete after erase? That leaves you vulnerable to an unnoticed accidental erasure, surely very common. How long would it take you to notice that one rarely accessed but valuable photo had been erased?

To protect against this, multiple backups must be retained.

Subject: [Digikam-users]  More on backup

Looks like I struck a chord!

I mentioned that Carbonite is unlimited storage but it seems that was 
missed.  It's unlimited.  I have about 170GB on it.  About half is photos.

One thing that Carbonite does, which I did not want to get into detail 
previously, is by default erase your files if they no longer exist after 
30 days.  There is a "Freeze Your Backup" option, but I've not used it 
so I'm not familiar with it.  Erasing after a month is fine with me 
because I'm constantly reorganizing my folders and, I have that second 
HD for a permanent backup.
