I have a Seagate 3Tb backup drive attached to my desktop that automatically backs up everything. I also back up all pictures again to a Western Digital 2Tb Passport drive because I sometimes like to travel with it so I can work on pictures while traveling in the MH. Both are available at Costco very reasonably.
If the house burns, both the desk top and the Seagate would go as they're very close to each other. But usually when you loose data it's not because of a house fire.
Before our neighbors moved, we would store one of the WD Passports at their house in case there was a fire. Now I think we'll put one in the shed.
I may start using some of the free storage on Amazon, but in general I don't like the cloud. It seems I can never access it when I want to.
