Not bein a kiljoy but why not just use a backup HD?

I have a 100GB 2.5 inch HDD inside a USB2.0 IDE box and
a dual USB conection cable.

Simply plug in BOTH USB plugs (gives better xfer rate of
12mb/sec depending) and open Windows Explorer. Select
C drive and highlite the folders in the RH column you want
saved and then right-click em. Holding right-click butten
down drag the folders you want saved to the backup HDD
(usualy E or F drive) in the LH column and the files will
copy (not move) to the backup disk.

Im constantley updatin and backin up me 95.34gig of
porn files. Its a simple bloodey method and all over in
about 13 mins of xfer. And I dont need to go online to
recover me stuff if my C drive sh!ts itself- just another
puter! And not just pics/movies but Program File backups,
Setup files and just about anythin else.

Of course if your after online storage so OTHERS can view
your pics/whatever then Photobucket is the way to go.
