In this Saturday, Feb. 2, 2013 photo, Tom Ashe, associate chair of the MPS Digital Photography Department, surveys the damaged photos of Florence Catania, of Deer Park, N.Y., accepted for restoration by Operation Photo Rescue-Hurricane Sandy, at New York's School of Visual Arts. Of all the pictures of Superstorm Sandy's destruction, some of the most lingering are the warped, stained ones that sat on the walls and shelves of flooded homes. The Sandy project promises to be one of Operation Photo Rescue's most expert and ambitious efforts yet. (AP Photo/Richard Drew)

You can make albums private on photo bucket and they do regular backups and you can access them from anywhere.

(38,958 posts)do a bit at a time. My Mom gave me a whole plastic tote of them years ago and this is not a fast process, but events like this give one reason to get moving on it. I too have backed up in several layers and media types. Put a few on FB and Flicker for the family to access and will do more as I get them done.
