I've done all my personal data backups on external drives here at home for a few years now. Like someone above said "the cloud is just your data on someone else's computer".
While everyone is talking about backups on their external devices are any of these external devices kept offsite?
Not saying cloud is the way to go, just asking.
I keep a copy offsite.
I keep paper so long and then it is shredded. Many docs are only digital.
Proof of costs for insurance, taxes, business files, password vault and pictures are some of things I do not want to loose for any reason.
I use both local and cloud-based, I have been using Carbonite for several years switching over to I Drive lately. Cloud-Based is data only, local is Images and data on external and internal drives My external can be removed very easily I have one on my FFL business that goes home with me every night.
