When you have more than 2 backup copies, make sure you keep these copies in different storage media types.<\/p>\n

There are a few removable storage drives you can use to keep these backup copies like USB drives, SD cards, DVDs and CDs.<\/p>\n

Thus, it is easier for you to retrieve the same copy from your external drive if your computer crashes, or lost.<\/p>\n

The last step to secure your backup data is to store it on a remote server. The server can be located in another city, state or a country.<\/p>\n

This server backup solution<\/a> protects your hosting data by using replication and synchronization over the network storing point-in-time snap shots in disk-based storage.<\/p>\n

For those who want a backup just for their personal photos, videos and other files, they can do it manually by getting\u00a0a FREE cloud storage from Google Drive, OneDrive, Box or Dropbox.<\/p>\n
