In my last post, I began a review of several of the local backup options that I have employed over recent recent years, starting with a simple external hard drive and moving onto Drobos. In this post, I’ll review two additional options I’ve explored and setup: Time Capsule and a Network-attached Storage (NAS) device (in this case, setup as a RAID array).

In part one of this two-part series, we explore various options available for local backup. Backing up is a critical – not optional – part of your photo storage strategy, and here we’ll cover the options from the most basic to the more complex.

This is part 2 of guest contributor Mel Ashar’s article on his personal backup strategy. Click through to see how Mel handles both offsite and online backup.

Guest contributor Mel Ashar returns to describe in detail his personal backup strategy, and the various solutions he’s explored and either embraced or discarded. This is a two-part post, so be sure to return next week for the conclusion!
