Ext Hard drives are cheap. Even a USB 2 or 3 will fine. Disconnect it when you are done backing everything up. This way, if you catch a virus and the Ext HD is not connected, you won't have corrupted data or it locked up on you.

Do NOT depend on cloud storage unless it is a secondary backup after the ext HD. I know folks who had their files erased and all they got was "so sad too bad, sorry".

I keep a disconnected HD and a flash drive off premise for double security. The flash drive is updated regularly (flash is not a long term memory storage).
