What is your data backup system?

Asked by tom_g (16638points) July 1st, 2011

How do you currently back up your data?

1. Do you use one of the services like:
Mozy
Carbonite
Backblaze

2. Do you pay for an increased storage plan on Dropbox and make sure you use your dropbox folders to store all of your data?

3. Do you have a couple of large external drives that you use to backup your files on a regular basis?

4. Do you have an unlimited webhosting plan that will allow you to ftp data?

What system(s) do you use? And more importantly, have you ever had to actually restore data from any of these methods. I know someone who swore by Mozy until he needed to get data back from them.

Currently, I have a secondary drive that I backup to nightly, I have an external drive that I backup to weekly, and I have a portable external drive that I backup to monthly and keep offsite. I also have 5GB of free Dropbox space that I use.
