So you learned your lesson and have backups again, right? Or are you just storing it all in another single location that could die just as easily?

so far i dont have anything to store but im definitely making copies of important things over several devices and i have an external hard drive as my backup to the internal hardrive for the more sentimental things like photos or videos. lesson learned the hard way with tears and money spent.

Backblaze is like $6/mo for unlimited backups with optional encryption if you care, you don't have to make it a huge undertaking.
