Arrrggghhh.  You want backup of electronic records because you don't have one and you don't have enough storage space on your hard drive so you elect to use a website, i.e. big brother in the sky, to store your data and then you find out that in order to do that, you have to load all those files onto your hard drive -- yep, the same hard drive that you don't have any room on to start with.  I'm not talking 2GB of files; I'm talking 60 GB of files.  My hard drive is freaking out over 14GB right now.  Yes, I'm frustrated.  Yes, I need another solution because now my hard drive is telling me it's not going to work anymore due to the amount of stuff I've just pushed onto it. 

I'm an archivist, not a blinkin' IT guru.  Finding a solution to our ever growing electronic records stash is killing me.
