One issue we all face is how to backup our images. Not so long ago this entailed external hard drives and, if you wanted to be really certain, at least one external drive held somewhere away from your home. For preference with a geographic separation of 5 - 10 miles. If an event occurred which simultaneously affected both locations, recovering your images would be the least of your worries.
Keeping a remote hard drive up to date requires regular coordination and is not especially convenient. More recently, cloud storage has addressed the issue, although most companies typically offer just a few gigabytes. Sufficient for those images which have the most value to you, but not everything you might want to keep. A while back, flickr increased its capacity to 1TB and now Microsoft is offering unlimited OneDrive storage to Office 365 customers.

Better get a fast broadband connection as well.

Sweet! I didn't know this. I got the whole office 365 suite for the princely sum of 8GBP back in the UK and now this? Winner!
That coupled with insanely fast broadband here in SG has made my day!

I don't want to burst your balloon, but Office 365 is the subscription version of Office 2013 which I am not sure includes cloud storage.
