Maybe I'm weird, but I absolutely hate the idea of losing my data. Plus, I hate the idea of putting my data out there on the internet for a hacker to get access.

So, I do backups the old fashion way. I first do daily/weekly backups of my hard drive to a second hard drive in the computer. This protects from primary hard drive crashes.

To prevent total data loss from fire, once a year I burn the entire backup folder onto double-sided blu-ray discs and put them into the storage unit.

If the house burns down I only lose a year's worth of photo's, music, video's.

The only chance of data theft is someone breaking into my storage unit and grabbing the discs. Then they have to figure out the encryption code and unpack the files onto a hard drive... Good luck on that!
