I just recently revised my backup plan and I'm pretty happy with it, but I'm always looking to improve it. So I figured I'd see what you guys are doing.
-What do you backup?
-How often?
-What backup software do you use (if any)?
-Any other important info you want to add
Here's mine:
#1 - I am using Cobian Backup 11 for backing up EVERYTHING on my data partition. (Weekly differential + 1 Full every 3 months)
#2 - I use Seagate DiscWizard to make an image of my OS partition (I do this rarely, usually immediately after a fresh OS + essential apps install).
#3 - Daily incremental backup of My Documents + 1 full backup per month (this also gets backed up redundantly in #1)
All of this is backed up to an external HDD and then around every 6 months I duplicate it onto another HDD that is kept offsite. Thats pretty much it!
I'm not really into cloud storage, but I do use dropbox for temporary stuff.
