What is the best for data backup ? photos, mp3, videos, files, etc

DVD-rom , CD-rom

USB drive

external hard drive

 

For offline backup, USB pen drives and external hard drives are best option.

For online backup, try Dropbox, Mozy and Windows Live SkyDrive

 

>> external hard drives

is it OK if i need to use it among different PCs

 

I would prefer to use external Hard drive for the purpose of backup of my data

 

external hard drive. coz we can save large data

 

external HDD is the best option
for online try this http://www.drivehq.com/

 

I would trust external hard drives to back up important data. Smaller files can be preserved as an email attachment, provided the service provider is a trusted source like gmail etc...

 

I would prefer mozy backup service. It's safe and secure and also easy to use.

 

i hate online backups.. i used to steal private folders of girls and crach them..

so i won't suggest ..online

 

If you have enough upload bandwidth I would use an online service. I have used just about every one you can think of trying them out.. I like Backblaze.com . They are seemless backup.

 

External HDD will be the best solution, you can encrypt content and even password protect it, very reliable and its movable, I just suggest you to don't use it much if you want some of your data to stay safe and of course remember the environment temperature which play a huge role in keeping your data safe.

 

I am more menyukasi and choose to use an external hard drive for my data backup destination is fast enough but it depends on you guys ...^_^

 

If your going to backup dont just rely on partition hard drives because sometimes that can also get corrupted (personal experience) try to back it up in more than 2 places so for example your original data on C: then a back up online such as Dropbox, then a back up on an external hard drive and/or USB pen. This enables you having access to your important data even if two of your back up sources go down.

 

In my opinion if you have huge data then External storage device will be better option.....

 

Even then you should make a third backup because of the UNRELIABLILITY of devices these days they canhave a surge, or just get corrupted at anytime and you will be baffled then.

 

Try Acronis True Image maker to back up an entire drive.the best option.and save it in anywhere online or,external hdd.in this way none of your data will be corrupted,safe from virus,and password protected.

 

I think the best back up external hard drive

 

Both of them are good for data back up. But most of the time used USB drives but I rely most on cd.

 

i choose HDD internal
