I bought this bag, it's an absolute bargain. Compared to my mates Lowepro it's really hardly any different, but a quarter of the price.

Ok, after all that I've decided that a NAS drive will do it. We have a separate building on site which I can run a network cable to and it put the NAS in there.
The thing that swung me was I've just been reading a lot about how secure transferring data is between google drive and DB, and I...
Thanks for that, it seems everyone is advising dropbox. I wanted to use SkyDrive but that's limited 100GB so that's no good, and Crashplan get's great reviews but isn't available in the UK. I'll give Dropbox a go!
It is for business use, a NAS drive is an option at home (never thought of that before this post) but to save £10-15 a month I'd rather have an online solution which can be accessed from a phone app and/or any computer.
I'd have to put said server in the same building as the one that's being backed up, then if there's a fire I'd be screwed :/ If I had another site that would be an option though.
I'm sick to death of Google Drive and it's shoddy software that has what it seems is unlimited limitations, so therefore I'm going to make the switch. I need online backup, and my requirements are the following (other than decent reliability):
200GB Storage
Two computers allowed to...

The lack of video is putting me off a 50D (I do use video). I almost think getting a 650D as a stop-gap then a 70D next year might be the way to go. Thanks for the opinions guys :)
No Mag-alloy? I thought it did! Another disadvantage :( If it shot at 6.5-7fps like the 50/70D that would be attractive but again it's the same FPS as the 650D!
I fancy an upgrade but haven't really got much dough to play with, £400 max (i'm going for second hand). Currently running a 500D, the 650D looks great but I was hoping my next upgrade would be to a x0D series. Only problem is the 60D to me doesn't seem worth the extra money, don't get me wrong...
Lovely, Scott! Really impressed with that.
Couple more from the golf course.

Wish I'd have composed this one better as I really like the effect.

Couldn't agree more. Some of my mates think their all-in-one home cinema system packages sound great but really they're just a boomy sub with a little bit of tinny treble, I hate too much bass.
No the sub isn't active when playing music as I use Direct mode rather than stereo. The sub is only used for TV/movie watching to ad a little bit of thump. The heavy bass from the CM1s comes from the rear port, I do have bungs for them but I'd rather keep the port open and move the speaker to...
Yeah the CM1s are sick, still amazes me the depth and control of bass from such a small speaker! And yes I have taken the feet off the Denon. Don't get me wrong I know this is a cardinal sin as it's restricting air flow underneath, but it's been like that for 18 months now, and even when I play...
Here's my setup at the moment.
Denon AVR-1912
Bowers & Wilkins CM1
Wharfedale Powercude SPC 10" Sub
Wharfedale 10.CC Centre
Onkyo rears

I've previously had an entry level Onkyo which was ok, now a low-midrange Denon which I really like. I'm like Munson, no real brand loyalty with AVRs (although I do with speakers) I just try and get the best for my money at that particular time.
My next AVR will be one that has stereo pre-outs...
Not sure whether I actually like this shot of mine. It doesn't seem to "pop" no matter what I do. Moon shot taken at 11:30pm through the woods in a trip up to Scotland to see the Open Championship.
