Where to Backup Pictures?

Besides the traditional way of storing photo backup to a local disk or to an external USB drive, you can also backup pictures to cloud (S3- or WebDAV-driven cloud, OneDrive, Dropbox, Google Drive or other), or backup all photos to some network resource such as NAS, shared folder or FTP server.

It′s also very flexible.

Feedback from Handy Backup User

I needed a backup in native format. I am a photographer so as I add images to my PC, I need to back them up. Your Sync facility provides this. I also need to backup the database which records the details of my images.
