Flckr

Tonight I had a good look at Flickr and found some photos of buildings and streets which I lived in and visited. Having an Online backup does make sense, however information about where the photo's are stored and what security has been added is not immediately apparent or visible. There appears to be no absolute guarantee that just because you upload our photo's to Flickr, that there is ironclad guarantee that the files are secure. I would be inclined to back digital photo's up to DVD as well and store them safely, although there is no guarantee that this is foolproof and that Data on DVD has a limited shelf life as well.
