Disaster Preparedness

I'm always backing up and data-sync image files, it seems an endless task with digital and there is never enough storage.   But I've always thought during an evacuation of any sort, the most precious things to me would be my photos. 

Now I have years of albums, prints, hard drives so I would need to rent a little u-haul just to make an emergency escape... which ofcourse is not logical.   

I come across a few on line storage backups that look pretty cool. 

• DropBox
• SugarSync
• BackBlaze
• Carbonite
• NomaDesk

There is also an excellent desktop sync that I use all the time just to sync my multiple hard drives with my Mac.

• ChronoSync

Hi. Full disclosure here: I work for www.nomadesk.com, which offers small businesses (or nomadic professionals, as we like to call ourselves) an innovative way to share documents and work together on a "virtual fileserver." I read your post on disiaster recovery with great interest, and just wanted to add NomaDesk to the mix.
Actually, NomaDesk comes with a feature set specifically geared toward the digital nomad, such as local encryption and "remote shredding" with TheftGuard. Furthermore we impose no limits on storage and bandwidth. I would appreciate your review.

Thanks!
