I copy those files on to an external hard drive, actually two different one, so that if one fails I have another copy.
I also use "ClipMate" as my copying tool and have been very happy with it. You can download a free trial.
I don't knowingly use "the cloud", hope this helps you!
Thank you, that will help my son when I move and he can show me how to actually do it hahahaha.
