==== Scenario ====

The family photos are all over the place on cameras, phones, hard drives etc. It would be great to have the family photos available to everybody in one place (read only) but make it easy to add or maintain the collection.

==== Objective ====

Create a single place on the LAN for photos but protect them from accidental deletion.

==== Prerequisites ====

=== Gargoyle router with spare USB port ===

Hopefully your router has a spare USB port. 

If not then check out the [[supported_routers_-_tested_routers|Router hardware guide]] for a suitable router.

=== USB Hard disk drive ===

Small portable USB hard drives (or a large USB Flash drive) are readily available. 

Format the USB drive with a single large partition. 

Create a directory called **photos**

==== Backup Hard Drive ====

The USB hard drive should be plugged into the Router's USB port.
