Im archiving all my pics just in case my photo collection goes up in flames I will have a backup on the web...
Where can I find a reliable, private, storage site that is easy to access?
Thanks in advance.

free, password protected and, as far as I know, unlimited storage - you'll need to check that though. Easy to use, too

once on postimage is it on forever?
or do you have to access the account once every 6 months or face losing the pictures forever.

I just e-mail them to myself. I suppose if you want to be really safe, you could e-mail them to two different addresses.

It is ok but do you not end up with hundreds of emails to sort through whenever you want to see a pic? using an online hosting site enables you to sort them into albums - of course email is fine if it is only for backup reasons

Yeah, of course there's the problem of sorting them, but, as you say, it's the closest I can think of to some sort of cast-iron back-up for when your photo collection "goes up in flames", as you put it.
Somewhere to browse through your photos at leisure is another matter altogether, but that wasn't really your query, as I understood it.

It's something I do with any important documents I've got on here. I appreciate it might be a pain locating them again (though you can give the e-mail a relevant title to help in that respect), but for my money it's the most straightforward way of getting out of trouble when your machine breaks down.
I know you're always told to "back up your data", but I have absolutely no idea what this means or how you do it.

You can write them to a disk (CD/DVD type thing).
It is very easy to do, but make sure you have actually written them to the external disk - load the external disk and look at them.

I bought a WD Elements portable hard disk.. quick and very simple.. buy two if the files are crucially important to you.
Also I have a daughter with a duplicate set of the irreplaceable family photos.
