Hi All,

 

This is a follow up question re hard drives and long term storage.

 

So my daughter has about 5-7 external hard drives and none are newer...She
wants a long term safer solution (like Carbonite) rather than keeping
everything on these hard drives; as she now knows they will all fail
eventually.

 

The pics (only pics on all these drives) that are on these drives are on no
computer at all, just on these hard drives.

 

Given that Carbonite backs up your computer (and word, excel, etc.) and
these pics are not on a computer or iphone, what's a good option for her?
She does not need backup for word, excel or other computer stuff.

 

How should she get all these to transfer to a better and more long term
solution?

 

With Carbonite you would have to have one computer and only ONE hard drive
connected; so that might not be the best option.

 

thanks,

Denise

p.s. we're still working on taking in the failed drive.
