I'm a stickler for backing up because I've lost files sooooo many times. How do you guys back up and how much it too much?

I keep ALL of my files (pages and kits) on an external drive. I only keep a copy of final page jpegs and a duplicate of pictures still to scrap on the desktop harddrive. I've been thinking of getting a second external drive. You can never have too much, but I was curious how you all saved your data.
I have 2 external drives. I keep my pictures on both and then, on one of the drives, I have all of my scrapbook pages. With the scrapbook pages, I have a 3rd copy of the pictures (which I have clearly labelled DELETE WHEN DONE) so that I scrap the pics and then delete them from that file, leaving them in 2 places. If that makes any sense...

Mine automatically back up to the cloud but this reminded me to put them on an external hard drive too. I backed up both of my external hard drives with all of 2016. Good challenge because I really had forgotten to do that for a whole year!

Awesome non-challenge !!! I needed an "extra" reminder to back up files. I have been trying to do this at the end of each month now .... backing up things to my EHD and also burning some discs with some files that I "really" don't want to loose. Especially photos and some purchased digital kits.

I also think another EHD is in my future as well. I am a little leary of uploading things to the Cloud. Has anyone else had issues? I have heard some horror stories. But I have also heard a lot of good. Guess it all depends on who you talk to.

I'm all backed up now.

I have all my pics backed up in an EHD and some cds, but not scrapped, so this challenge was great to use some of the pics from DH phone that I always forget to look at and have not added to my book pages. My books are always 12x12 but those extra pics, or forgotten ones go to 8x8 LOs that I print individually and add chronologically to a pioneer, and it's great as I can see them as soon as I print them and not like the books that usually take years to be finished LOL

We have all of our pictures and scrap stuff on an external hard drive.
A copy of everything on this hard drive is also on dropbox.

Personally, I don't like the automatic backup. When I have heard of cloud based backup problems, it usually lies in the automatic backup process. It does take a little extra time, but we move everything to dropbox by folder ourselves, so we know exactly what went every single time.
