Computer Files Backup - Do you use one?

[Jun aka Pekto]

Do you use any form of computer back up to protect yourself from losing documents and other files from being lost if your PC or hard drive suddenly dies?

Manual or Automatic backup systems?

Tell us about it.

For priceless stuff like digital photos and scanned documents, they go straight into an external backup hard drive and are copied to the other computers and external hard drives.

For not-so-critical stuff like game patches/mods/free FSX aircraft and scenery, one of the external hard drives will do.

I see no need for automatic backup in the process I use.
