My personal favorite technique is downloading and installing backup software like CrashPlan or Carbonite. I like CrashPlan because you can use it for free to back up to a local drive, another computer that you trust, say, at your parent’s house, or, for a modest fee, CrashPlan Central’s cloud storage.
It takes a while for online services to back all your data up; your Internet connection can only move lets say some maybe megabytes per minute in the end. But these servcies run automatically in the background, and, unlike me, they never forget to back up your files.
Online file services make it easy to share files too, or access anywhere you can get on the Internet.
So if you have files you can’t afford to lose, do yourself a favor, and get your own 3-2-1 backup plan rolling!
