Awkward news on Irista.com. Canon Irista wil stop end january 2020.
Any reliable friend or relative with a house or apartment can offer an offsite backup solution. So can a safe-deposit box in a bank. For a hurricane, I think a good home safe and waterproof bags would do the trick. Now, if we are talking about tsunami zones, hmm...A home NAS is not an offsite backup solution. Ideally, you want both.
Still, I don't remember hearing about Irista before, so it must be not a very popular resource.

Friend or relative maybe, but you're not going to be able to transmit incrementals to a safe-deposit box in a bank… Backups are nigh useless if they're months or years out of date.
With any backup, the enforcement of a regular schedule is important, and offsite backups are not an exception. My NAS is set up to back up my photos to my Amazon account automatically.Any reliable friend or relative with a house or apartment can offer an offsite backup solution.

Backing up to clouds is for the birds.
It certainly offers peace of mind!With any backup, the enforcement of a regular schedule is important, and offsite backups are not an exception. My NAS is set up to back up my photos to my Amazon account automatically.

Yet another 'free' cloud service bites the dust. How much is a home NAS now $200?
How is that not a cloud service?I didn't use it as a cloud backup - I used it to share some selected photos with others, Irista leaves to you the full rights on images, and lets you share only what you want to share. You can also create and print books.
Without the hassle of useless "social network" features. But that's probably why users didn't use it.

I never said anything about backup. I said it was a cloud service, which it is/was, he then said he didn't use it as a cloud backup, maybe not but it was a cloud service.He said it wasn't a cloud backup. He wasn't using it for backups, he was using it as a way to share photos.
Indeed it may, and I understand that. Although it is funny I use my NAS for deliverables now so use it exactly as you say you were using the Canon service, copying a QNAP link and sending it to the people you want to be able to see the images is as easy as copying a Canon link to send to people the people you want to be able to see the images, no social media aspect, no 'backup,' just a way to view and share I mages via the WWW."Cloud service" may mean many different things. For me it wasn't a cloud storage or backup - so it wasn't comparable to a NAS (which I already use anyway) - it was a no-frills way to display and optionally share photos with selected people only, something which is less simple to run from a local NAS.
