Scenario
The family photos are all over the place on cameras, phones, hard drives etc. It is 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 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.
