I am paranoid that something like this one day will happen to me which is why I have a backup system I have set up.
- An external HDD with a full backup of everything on my computer (astro work, music, images, etc).
- DVD discs for long term backup (lasts longer than a HDD and less chance of it breaking) of the important stuff (music, astro and images)
- USB backup of important personal files
Also I have an excel spreadsheet with what is backed up on where and on what dates.
The backup to my external drive I do once a fortnight unless there is a major change/update and my DVD backups once every 3 months since that is long term and is a lengthy process.
I am not comfortable with having just one backup therefore I have multiple.
