Online data storage

How to store your information online?
To get your data back follow simple rules:

1.don't trust
2.have backups (online or offline)

what happened?
User A uploaded some photos to online gallery B and some files to on free file storage server C

nice.. everything seem all right..

and then service is closed. That happend to millions of users of C-Mediamax (25 GB file storage) and B-Sony ImageStation

If you don't believe how painful it is when you see someone turned back to you, you cat read this FAQ answer from sony (supposedly misleading- Sony didn't shreed tapes)

What has happened to my images and personal information?

All images and personal information stored on the ImageStation servers have been destroyed. All ImageStation storage devices have been wiped clean and all back up tapes have been shredded. It is no longer possible to retrieve any images or information from the ImageStation servers.

Conclusion: big companies don't car about your information (at least they could send you mail (instead of spamming -SONY!) before, or data in attachments or something)

When you are uploading, it's statistics if you get it back. When you are storing under bed- watch that cat playing wth your cds!
