My Online Photo and Media Backup Service (part 2)

Hm , I was about to post the continuation of my "how to" for online back up but it appears that my blog was tagged as spam...interesting.

Anyway below is the download link for the tool I have created for the sole purpose of backing up files to remote FTP service. I have run this tool using windows scheduler every day and managed to backup all of my important media files such as pictures and short video clips. All in all about 3 000 files occupying almost 30 GB space.

Now I am working on the backend tool to automatically create thumbnails and a gallery. This one will run as a cron job on the web hosting company server and will give me nice access to my photos (scaled and originals) anywhere.

Have fun and let me know how it works for you should you chose to use it for your online backup jobs.

Almost forgot, HERE is the download link.

Thanks Peter. I had decided this was the way to go as well, since I already had hosting. You saved me quite a bit of time here. I haven't tried it yet, though.
