There's a lot of different ways and options for backing up data. What's your process?
You can backup files and folders to the cloud and that's very useful because they are offsite. But it doesn't back up programs and apps.
You can create a system image and backup to a local hard drive that onsite. It backs up everything. How many system images to you keep? What is the backup schedule or do it manually?
If you keep your backup local and something catastrophic happens? What then?
Personally, I think the best way is to use the 3, 2, 1 method. Keep 3 duplicate system images at all times. I use 2 local external drives and 1 remote backup. I then leverage OneDrive to backup well known folders. At least this is what I'm gonna start doing.
Thoughts, suggestions, criticism?
