Yet another question about online storage

[ChrisHeathcote]

I know this has been asked a million times, (believe I've searched the threads, I know), however I have a couple of specific questions. Currently my photos are stored on my iMac, which also runs Time Machine, I also backup all the photos to a separate hard drive once a month, which is then disconnected. I am aware though that in the event of burglary or fire then I everything would be lost. I have looked at various backup packages, which can work out quite costly. I do on the other hand already have Flickr, which I use to share all my pictures and don't particularly want to fill it up with family snapshots and also SkyDrive which includes 1Tb as part of my Office subscription.

My questions are:
1. Does anyone use SkyDrive for off site photo backup
2. How do you upload your images (do you use a "Publish" service from Lightroom)

Thanks as always for any help and advice

Just put your family photos in a private flickr album. Job done.

1. Yes.
2. I have my 'photos' folder inside my onedrive folder (it's no longer called skydrive). I also have my LR database inside my onedrive folder. Everything is synced then. Any edits that I export out of lightroom get exported to an edits subfolder of the original.

You may also have more than 1TB. I have an office 365 sub and get 10TB. They are gradually moving all accounts to 10TB then later unlimited.
