Reliable storage, for you?

[Radec]

Need something to back up my Dive. Only have around 300gb's worth.
Had a look about, and there are lot's of storage methods.
And I'm not sure what o go for, so I wanted to ask: How you guy's backup your stuff?

What do you find reliable?

I have Samsung drives and WD Reds for my data, and important stuff backed up on OneDrive.

You should have at least 3 copies of your files and one of those copies should be offsite. Ideally the back up copies should have a history of your files so if you delete something now by mistake and don't notice until next year then you'll still be able to go back in time. And ideally the back should be done daily (or more often) which realistically means using some kind of software to automate the process.

Local back up can simply be an external drive. Offsite back up could be on a hard drive you keep at relative's house or you could pay for a cloud backup solution like crashplan or backblaze. $5 a month is a small price to pay to keep my photos safe

Hard drives fail often, be paranoid, very paranoid!

2x hard drives.

Can never have too many backups. Keep them as external / NAS drives. IE, safe in the event of the PSU in the PC taking out all hard drives.
