stupid leica (chris?): Good point. Will check those out, too. BTW, if you don't mind the question, I wonder how you got to "stupid leica"? I like it... even if I shoot a (film) Leica from time to time just to put it out of it's misery, keep it from getting jealous, and all the rest. Surely there's a story in there.
When i first got into Rangefinders, i lusted after a Leica so bad. I started off with a deal on a Hexar RF, then later tried a Bessa, then a Canon P, then an Ikon. FINALLY got an M2 and it had some issues that people brushed off as normal M2 things... Sold it as I could not afford a DAG/Sherry overhaul, got another M2. More problems, this time harder to pin down. Was extremely frustrating. The cameras were a joy to shoot, when they worked.
I've had half a dozen Canon P's, which are just as enjoyable to shoot, far less likely to have problems in my experience, and cost a fraction of what any camera with the red dot asks. I still drool over a nice M2 or 4 though.
I'm guilty of irresponsible backup practices myself, although trying to find/setup a more robust solution right now.
I currently just send EVERYTHING to google photos, some stuff to flickr. I have a Google Cloud account on another gmail, and could one day set up a semi-automated backup to it, wouldn't cost much as you pay for what you use in storage and network transfer/bandwidth.
I recently got a Raspberry Pi 3 to mess with, and ideally tie into some sort of local backup if I can figure it out lol.
EDIT- regarding cloud backup of non-photo/video media.... if it's available on a streaming service from Google/Spotify/Apple, just do that instead. Why add to your backup burden and cost, if you can let one of the big dogs handle the infrastructure and you pay them a minimal fee (<$10/mo)? I haven't worried about local/physical music or movies in a couple years and I never will again.
