With the digital photography the need for storage increases. In particular as you need multiple volumes to keep copies of the images.

Personally I am in favor of maintaining 3 copies of both the original and processed images:

• A working copy for the day-to-day editing, updating the MobileMe galleries and printing
• A copy of the images at home.
• A copy of the images at another location (suppose you got a big fire at your home or theft)

The set-up works in case you synchronize on a regular basis. For the third copy, synchronize and return the copy to the other location as soon as possible.

With todays prices you can buy enough storage cheap e.g. € 150.- will buy you a decent LaCie hard disk with 1TB capacity.
