External drive, Windows backup or scheduled file copy so you don’t forget.
Burn critical stuff to CD every year and store in a firesafe or safety deposit box.
I do not trust any 3rd party backup solutions with my data.
“I do not trust any 3rd party backup solutions with my data.”
Absolutely.
Case in point: As I’m doing my data backup I encounter a file that has spanned a bad sector on the drive and the file copy terminates. I had one of the 3rd party software solutions that wouldn’t alert me to the aborted backup - it just stopped and everything looked as though it had completed successfully.
I guess it comes down to how much one values their stuff ;}
Pretty much sums up my strategy.
