Amazon Glacier - backup's

[Rico]

Anyone thinking of trying Amazon's VERY low cost online storage solution called Glacier?  I may give it a go to have an online backup of all my digital pictures.

I'm not into the whole saving everything online. I like having a tangable hard drive (though those can be faulty). Feel the same about digital video/music.. prefer DVD/Blu-ray and CD's.

This is for backup purposes of select files only.  I still would have copies on both hard drives and DVD's too.  If you have some type of natural disaster in your home, get robbed, have a fire, etc. you could lose all your digital pics and other important files if you don't have a backup somewhere else.

Yeah I agree.. can never had things backed up too much.
