I have backups of all important files. For this I have 3 external drives and use SyncToy program. I try to do the backups with great regularity ... as once a week!
I do on USB drives and other stuff I burn to disc. I got tons of DVD data disc laying around but it seems like a great way to keep things together and get stuff off of the computer.
I to using more google drive , because besides sending the pc files it connects to celuar and I can pick up any file I want cell but I do not forget the pendrive , it has some important things there that no one can see!
