Do you store a backup of your documents and pictures? 馃捊

Which method do you suggest? I have pictures of some of my best-friends that I don鈥檛 want to ever lose. 馃挐

Not even joking, burn them to a CD-ROM. I have a Windows 98SE CD that was burned in 2000 that still works. Burn like 5 CDs for redundancy and store them in a cool, dry, dark place and that data will be there in 20 years. This is the cheapest and longest lasting solution, short of magnetic tapes. Mechanical hard drives will succumb to bitrot in as little as 5 years. Unpowered solid state devices will hold their data for less than a year. Cheaper flash storage like in flash drives will hold their data for just a few months.

To be really safe, you should have more than one copy of each photo, stored in more than one way in more than one place.

I use Amazon and Google. We also have a computer the size of a sandwich. We can grab it while leaving the house if it's burning down.
My method is multiple copies in multiple places/devices.
Documents are scanned; photos, never.
