Re: Who are all these geeks crying for mo speed?
said by ninjatutle  :Off sight backup? Why don't you do daily incremental backups? Or are you also backing up your bootlegs  You may not have a DSLR camera, but I have one that produces 2 Gb of data for about 300 pics. Now I don't shoot that much every week as it is just a hobby, but if you are a freelance wedding photographer that does a few weddings and some other events each week because it is your living.... and you want to backup the projects clients haven't PAID for yet to an online service, it can be very handy to have a online backup service.
And I am not even shooting in RAW mode, which is what most professionals do.... and that is easily 1 Gb for 40 photos. The last wedding I was at the guy had to take out his 8 Gb CompactFlash and put in a new one because it was full.
Even completely zipped up and compressed, a freelance photographer can easily generate up to 10, 15 Gb a WEEK that he may want to back up online - until the clients pay him for the work after which he can place them on fixed media like DVD's. |
