Secure photo backup protection with ProtectMyPhotos.com

image protection with protectmyphoto.com

Have you ever lost information on your hard drive, especially photos, or maybe even accidentally deleted all the files on your camera memory card? Harsh stuff. Especially since many people don't even bother to print out, or backup digital photos now. That could be the reason why ProtectMyPhotos started up. It's a way to securely, and automatically backup digital photos. So, if anything ever happens to your digital photos, hard drive crashes, corruption, or maybe even a fire, images that are stored on your computer are safe, the secure archived ones can easily be accessed, and recovery of the lost ones will start. The ProtectMyPhotos online application also allows the user to look at backup photos online, with their photo viewer.

In order to get things started, you have to install a free software package. Upon installation, you will be asked what folders of images you wish to backup and protect. Your photos will automatically be uploaded, and monitoring of the images folders that you had specified will be monitored in case of changes. If you decide to get rid of red eye in some of your photos, or do some editing, the files that are stored on ProtectMyPhotos.com will be instantly uploaded to reflect the changes. Files can then be viewed online, anywhere there is internet access. ProtectMyPhotos.com is a free site when it comes to images. They do have another option if you wish to protect movies, music and documents for $39.95/ year, and it works the same way as the image protection works.


UPDATE: ProtectMyPhotos offers 2 plans for photos. Plan 1 is a free account with unlimited photos, and lower res. Plan 2 is unlimited storage for $39.95/year.

Yes, amazingly, it's possible to have a sequel to a game called "The World's Hardest Game". It doesn't seem logically possible, since if the first one was actually the world's hardest, how could another one come along and share the moniker? It made me doubt the name in the first place. That is, until I tried the game. The mechanics of the game are very simple. You are a small red square, ...
