Icedrake Posted December 25, 2011 Share Posted December 25, 2011 I'm planning on switching back to Fedora from Ubuntu, since I'm having several annoying issues with Ubuntu 11.10 (most notably: my download speeds are abysmal, and Unity randomly crashes on me). However, I have a music collection that is entirely in FLAC and takes up a few gigabytes; more than 5. Anyone have any idea of an online place where I can temporarily back up the music to? The reason I'm asking this is because I lost my flash drive and I don't have an external hard drive. :S Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators rridgely Posted December 25, 2011 Moderators Share Posted December 25, 2011 You could make a couple of drop box accounts.(2gig each) Skydrive(25gb) each. Those are the two I use right now. There are a bunch more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderators Andavari Posted December 26, 2011 Moderators Share Posted December 26, 2011 If you don't mind paying for such a service the creator of dbPowerAmp has created AudioSafe. I haven't used it so I can't comment on it. Well the paying part, here's a quote from the site: backup for free, only pay to restore should the need ever arise Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Super Fast Posted January 3, 2012 Share Posted January 3, 2012 I disliked the Unity interface also. How did Ubuntu 10 do for you? I remember I backed that up to CD. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Andavari Posted January 3, 2012 Moderators Share Posted January 3, 2012 If only backing up about 5 GB worth, would it not be vastly faster to just burn those FLAC's onto DVDs, i.e.; DVDR or DVDRW. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Super Fast Posted January 6, 2012 Share Posted January 6, 2012 Try these: - Humyo - iDrive - Comodo Online Storage I believe you will be happy with one of those. Google them if you don't know the websites for it. Let us know what you choose, & how it works for you! Edit: I'm with Andavari here. Well, kinda. DVD? They only store about 4.7 GB single layer, vs 9 GB dual layer, vs very expensive Blue Ray, or.... Yes, I agree with backing it up locally, but DVD is kinda permanent. Go with DVD like Andavari said, if you want it permanent. Or, just grab you an 8 GB sandisk USB from your local Walmart. $12 or less, & you can edit/delete/add files as you please.

Icedrake Posted January 7, 2012 Author Share Posted January 7, 2012 Thanks for all of the advice guys. I decided to go with SkyDrive and I've got everything backed up there. It's got pretty fast upload/download speeds as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
