How are you backing up your videos these days?

pharma_gal · 09-12-14, 10:21 AM

I have all my downloads backed up on a hard drive but I'm always scared the drive will crash on me.

Is it a good idea to get another backup hard drive? My computer hard drive has very little space so I can't really store anything on that.

Thanks!

I back up to an external hard drive and burn at least 2 DVDs of my exercise videos.

Cloud storage would be another way.

Curious too!
Can you back up to a thumbdrive?

That works, too.

What kind of external hard drive to you have? Does it plug into your computer? How much memory, type etc. Thanks!

Here is an explanation about Google Drive versus others like Dropbox.

I back up to two external hard drives. In case one fails. I have a lot of years invested in my video collection!
