I don't have a good "plan" on storage and back-up. I got a nice size external hard drive for Christmas that I haven't done a thing with except format. I have a few questions because I never want to lose a drive again.
First, I primarily use a laptop on my lap on the couch. This makes it very easy to watch Lucas and be on the computer if I have to be. However, this makes it hard with having an external hard drive always connected since I don't have a "desk" that I work on.
Second, I would like to store all of my pictures and important documents somewhere. My computer is not ideal because I WILL have too many pictures for the computer hard drive
Third, I want to back this data up or have a copy somewhere.
Here are my questions, and there probably is no right or wrong answer....I just don't know the best, most effective and efficient answer!
1) Should I keep copies on my computer and the hard drive and synch with Groove? I also keep my pictures on Photobucket so many the pictures can stay only on hard drive
2) Should I only keep a copy on my external hard drive?
3) What is the best way to back up depending on what solution I go with?
What do you do with your doc and picture storage?
