Good advice! The cost isn't like it was a decade or more ago.

Was easier before I went exclusively to notebook computers, now I must make the
conscious effort to connect the external drive.

I must have several complete sets of backups, excluding the most recent files.
At least 2 always current, using a couple multi-terabyte-sized external drives.

Maybe a dozen copies of older files on tape (tape drive gone though), CD-R,
DVD-R and HDD. Not very organized, so that can be a problem if I had to resort
to locating something again. I certainly can't claim to be efficient, more like
sloppy in how I do things.
