[QUOTE="jetman, post: 764308, member: 63028"] My personal approach is to take a number of backups. I automatically synchronise most files to the cloud. I also copy and paste my files into removable hard drives every few months- one is kept in the house and one I keep hidden in a garage. I don’t bother with disk imaging- it’s not a problem reinstalling windows if necessary and then pasting all the files back onto my hard drive. It probably takes less than an hour to get a fresh Windows install wiith all my apps etc. I also use Rollback RX which is not a backup solution, but it can help to reverse out of crashes etc. Of the above, the biggest security risk is probably the cloud synchronisation. My data is on multiple servers around the world and out of my control. I think the trick is not to store anything confidential on there, or things that could be useful to criminals. If my photographs and work material gets hacked I’m not happy but also not overly concerned. [/QUOTE]
