I save absolutely essential documents and photos onto a memory stick and that's it. I don't even bother to save my blog posts any more as they're all in the Blogger cloud, and even if Blogger self-combusted I'd just shrug my shoulders and carry on writing.nickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10472673041193755894noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-468223150447785936.post-11299801066391404162014-11-23T19:29:48.835-08:002014-11-23T19:29:48.835-08:00Get yourself a small fire-proof safe, I have one a...Get yourself a small fire-proof safe, I have one and my laptop, external hard drive, cameras and diary live in it when I'm not home.

Then to my horrors one morning I turned on my computer and nothing! I got it to a computer doctor and he announced all was gone, my computer had died and taken everything! I lost about 50 poems and countless photos since I had not backed up for a month.

Mine is 320GB I think, I'd have to find the instruction book to be sure, but I've been backing up twice a year since I bought it in January 2012. Each time it only adds newer files to the old stuff already on there, plus if I've made changes to any of the old files, it replaces them with the Riverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14794655013673748992noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-468223150447785936.post-44117337905636314752014-11-22T19:28:31.188-08:002014-11-22T19:28:31.188-08:00How about just having ALL your stuff published, so...How about just having ALL your stuff published, sold and thus kept safely in the homes of your loyal readers.

I use an external hard drive and cloud accounts. However, when I'm in the boondocks, I can't count on automatic backups. I forgot to backup to my hard drive before l left Momtana.Then when my computer crashed in Ottawa, I opened folders in the cloud and found them empty.
