A 32 gig thumb or sd card drive goes a long way for backup, especially if you record critical data on two.

I would not trust a third party not to scan my data, like gmail and the other “free” emails do.

I burn discs and box them away. I’d go broke buying 32 or 64 usb drives for the raw and edited hd video I generate for stock use and other stuff.

There must be hundreds of discs in storage. I sometimes open a box and cull things that have no value any more or I know I have yet another copy elsewhere plus liberate the jewel cases.

I’ve started going to paper sleeves for discs in the data morgue. Jewel cases cost too much to sit doing nothing. Really important ones will rate a case.

I still don't get the idea of "cloud" backup. Not only is it not secure (nothing is), but unless you are graphic or video intensive, you can back up most of your files (even apps) on a thumb drive or disc. If that's not enough GB's, there are cheap external drives for hundreds of GB's, that you can store elsewhere or grab and run. What's the point? Most people don't even use close to the 300 GB's on their own computers.

If you're a file intensive company, then you have your own servers and back up systems. I believe it is a solution to a non-problem.
