What type of back up do you use for your really important computer files?  

I use VSS (Virtual Source Safe ) for my office work..its one of the best way to safegaurd your work..

I use VSS(Visual Source Safe) for my office work..

We previously used a USB stick to backup; but then it meant deleting some files when the stick runs out of space. Since most of the files are for safekeeping and filing, we now write them onto DVDs.

i don't have any important files on my computer. if it crashes you lose them. i'd rater just have them where i can get my hands on them. i'm old fashioned i guess but that's just the way i am.

DVDs certainly that is what is most reliable storage systems.
But I didn't feel the need to backup ever in the past..
Have a nice day...

i back up on cd, thumb drive, adrive, email, other websites, and will soon have everything backed up on dvd i hope.. im paranoid since i just got done with a really bad pc that liked to crash and screw up daily

Hi elmolovesu! I am not the one who does the back up on all important files. My husband does that for all our files! haha..lazy me! Oh not true! I am kinda dumb when it comes to this kind of things. haha..He do save them on DVDs, he uses online drives store them also on those USBs. I really am not sure where else. We do have hard copies too. He print them, document them and keep them in a a safe place.
Take care and blessings to you!

I use a combination of USB drive and Online.
MOst of my important file are on online storage.
I preferably use www.mesh.com as it syncs automatically as i update my folders on the computer. Any changes made to files will be updates automatically.
More importantly it allows me to share my folders and files with friends.

Oh,I dont use any safeware .If there is something important ,I usually copy it to other files on another logic disk.There,it can make sure I have one to use as need.
Maybe other people has good ideas.

I use Google Documents, included with my Gmail account to keep anything I need saved. After reading some of these posts I am thinking that maybe I need to consider also Having another way to keep it save. I am sure though that Google, and my Computer won't crash at the same time. I find it easiest to do it this way, because it is free, and google is very easy to use.
