Most people back up gigs of data that are totally unnecessary. Pictures are the major culprit. Why do you save a picture big enough to wallpaper your den when a file a third the size still saves the quality?

I have a 128G USB drive (backed up of course on a regular hard drive.) that has it's own operating system and a 120G removable hard drive with music,movies and pictures.

I cannot imagine why anybody would use "The Cloud".

Funny you should mention the cloud.

Because I was thinking of checking it out.

Thing I’m dealing with is I really want to have my files saved somewhere else besides my hard drive. I got a really nasty virus on one of them that’s driving me nuts.

All my pics and videos are saved on Photobucket, a paid for membership. A lot of my journals, thoughts, etc...are on my Blog.

It’s obvious the future is away from hard drives on home computers and having a “cloud” available to you no matter what computer you are on seems like the way to go.

My horrible virus is affecting my thinking I suppose. But I’ve got to make a change.
