Uploading is slow and when you consider the price of the storage you'd need, I suspect an external drive would be a better option. Assuming once on there files would not change frequently if ever so you could even ask a neighbour to store it for you to guard against fire or theft. 2012-01-31T14:43:16+00:00 https://www.augwessex.org.uk/discussions/view/718#3204 Roy Rainford info@augwessex.org.uk https://www.augwessex.org.uk/ Thanks Mick. I will go for plan 'A' - the external drive on the desktop. Roy
