[QUOTE="Ink, post: 790677, member: 3"] Utilise both. Simple. For online backups; [LIST] [*]Register with an email and password [*]Enable 2 factor authentication [*]Monitor account permissions (ie. some apps may Read/Write to Google Drive) [*]Use an encryption tool for sensitive documents (ie. Boxcryptor or your own) [*]Better for documents and photos. [/LIST] For offline backups; [LIST] [*]Store in secure environment (ie. Fireproof safe, locked cupboard) [*]If required, use a RAID configuration, but can be expensive [*]Optionally look at NAS, but evaluate the pros/cons and potential risks [*]Better for large video files and system images. [/LIST] Don't be a dummy and rely on one service. [/QUOTE]
