Does anyone do this? I'm talking about somewhere to backup ALL my photos. Any recommendations?

When you say all, do you mean all your RAW files, or all your JPEGS? If the latter, you might find you can do what you want with a Gmail account.

But if the former, and you're anything like me, I've not found anywhere that has the required 8TB for the same price as you can buy a pair of HDD's and put them somewhere else

I considered it but as the other poster has said once you start looking at lots of RAW files you might as well forget it and buy some HDD's.

Also take in to account upload times on several TB's of information will be a very long time.

I use 2 methods.

1) I bought a QNAP NAS with RAID and a copy of SmartSync to copy onto a local disk
2) For off site backup I use www.backblaze.com. Unlimited storage for about £30 a year. Yes it is slow streaming RAW off to the internet but it gives me peace of mind and is essentially invisible.

If you don't like the look of Backblaze then Mozy also gets good reviews.
