Thanks, Henk. Some food for thought there. I don't store full res files
on Flickr because data costs are sky high in SA. Using Cloud in a big
way would be much the same. Computer stuff has doubled in price in the
last 3 years too because the SA Rand is now so weak. I hate to think
where we will be in 10 years if I last that long. The joys of living in
Africa!

Alan, you do keep your important stuff on Flickr as well.
Also for me Flickr is the main cloud storage having over 8000 pics at
full res in jpg, with a lot of family pics hidden.
Further I keep my scanned old familiy pics on onedrive 1 TB cloud
storage.
All my RAW files are stored on a 6TB USB 3 hard disk connected to
Lightroom, as well as a backup spread on some four of old 2 TB 3.5
inch HDDs for which I bought houses with USB.
People around me who don't take many pictures are most happy if I
place a 256 SSD in their desktop or laptop and take out their old slow
HDD.
A piece of cake with Samsung software.

You guys are scaring me. I don't know much about all that fancy
stuff. I just do a basic backup of my catalogue & files. Not even an
SSD or USB3's yet.

I have my catalogs on a 2TB external drive, and use the SSD in my
MacMini for software and the scratch disk. I have TimeMachine
backups to two other external drives. Since I have had a couple of
very close calls with total data loss, I also have an automatic
backup to Backblaze.
Obsessive-compulsive? Me??? Never.

Amazon Photos is perfect for backups with unlimited storage of RAW
files. You need at least two copies, with one copy off-site, to call
it a safe backup.
I'd add that you need at least one copy which is normally
disconnected from the computer so you can't accidentally delete
anything, nor have it encrypted by ransomware etc.
I'm about to change my backups slightly because my Time Machine
backup doubles as my working drive for photos (the SSD in my
computer is too small to hold my photos). Not only is it a bit
slow to transfer files over USB2, it's even worse if the computer
starts a backup while I'm working. So I have a USB3 SSD on the way
which will become my working drive for photos, with the old HDDs
still serving as backups.
Cheers,
Dave
