Backup - Backup - System Image

I recently experienced a major technical breakdown on my primary PC device - a Toshiba Laptop Windows 8.1. To make a long story short, while troubleshooting a client's system, several changes were made to my system configuration in the intent to gain access to the client's wireless system. The following day ... I lost all wireless capability, I could only boot to Safe Mode, I could not access or use Windows Recovery features, etc. 

By chance, the day before, I had created system backup of all Library files and also created a System Image saved to an external Drive using EaseUS ToDo Backup. I 'frantically' went to restore the image I had saved the day before and within 45 minutes all files, programs, and settings were restored to the date of the System Image created the day before. I was saved. Lesson: do not intellectually know you should backup your PC routinely - DO IT!

Photo Online Backup

There are many web sites for displaying your digital photos. I have researched many and found that two free sites outshine them all/ They are Flickr and Google+. Flickr requires a Yahoo account and Google + requires that you have a Google account.Some keys highlights I have found (and I am sure there are more):

• Google+ is unlimited (they will resize your photos 2048x2048 pixels - plenty large anyway)
• Flickr offers 1 Terabyte of storage (500,000 photos estimated) - no resolution limits
• Both allow sharing of photos or albums via a link
• Both allow private auto load or instant backup from mobile devices when configured
• Both will take a little effort to understand 'how to' upload, display, create albums, etc.
• Of the two - I am caught in between which I like better. I prefer the look of Flickr from a photographer standpoint and many semi-pro enthusiasts use Flickr to display their images. I like Google+ since it works seamlessly with their free basic photo editing tool - Picasa.
