  1. Local External Backup and Cloud Based Backup on Ask Slashdot: It's World Backup Day; How Do You Back Up? · · Score: 1

    For local backup I run Macrium Reflect to create daily snapshots that are stored on an external hard drive. Older images are deleted as space is required. Great if some files should accidentally get deleted to be able to go back 60 days or so to retrieve them.

    For my "fire proof" offsite backup up of important files such as family photos and documents I use BackBlaze which allows unlimited storage (although I only use about 20 GB). Their service also allows you to recover files that have been deleted up to 30 days ago and your backups can be encrypted with a private key for privacy.

    Storage is much more affordable than recovery.
