Well I sold my old car, Ive got the PDF's of travel guides, Downloaded Translation App's on my phone for all the starting countries. Ive got my bags... ok well maybe not yet. But 2 weeks is loads of time to pack for a years trip isnt it??
Soo yeah im ready...
Im not going to put anything techy in these blogs but i was quite happy with my little idea to backup my photos. My little laptop's only got 20GB free space so I needed some way to off load the data, and USB disks although great are just to risky for a years trip. So here it comes...
./propellar hat on
Ive found a brilliant way of backing up my photos, quite nerdy actually....
I got a free 250 MB cloud storage folder with "Dropbox", I installed the agent on my mini server in Aus.
Then created a script (xcopy easy and simple) on the server to copy the Dropbox folder to another folder on the server, with only files that have changed.
Then i can clear out the Dropbox every few days and upload more. Ensuring that there is always a copy in AUS (as long as the servers up), Server also has inbuild backup to a external HDD...
./propellar hat off
This would give those at home a local copy to view of my photos and I can use it as a 3rd backup encase I lose my camera or laptop.
Ok promiss that will be the only techy thing I put on the blog... well maybe not.
