Unfortunately I don't. There's the typical areas I put them -- Facebook, Twitter, etc.

In terms of archiving there is no professional solution. Hear me dev's? No quality professional solution. I'd gladly smash $100/mo in your pocket for one.

I think Paul Stamatiou is working on something.

Can you define what you are looking for in 'professional solution'?

I have a mirrored copy of all RAW files on a local file server, separate disk. A daily cron takes care of the mirroring using rdiff-backup.

Every time I do a shoot, when I bring the RAW files into workflow I also export them as fullsize jpgs. Those are what's sent/stored in the cloud (rsync.net).

I do this in the interest of saving space/money/time -- I am not a professional and I only have 768 kb/s upload (if that).

The mirrored raw files cover idiot mistakes/disk crash, the jpegs in the cloud covers the more catastrophic fires, theft, flood, etc.
