backup

Or via network drive or a server backup. But those are expensive. The easiest way would be external HDD and DVD/Flashkey.

Remember, under no circumstances do you ever want to have just 1 backup. 2 minimum, 3 preferred.
 
It does not work like that. You store files. You can move files. However, programs have to be reinstalled from the original media. You can not back up a program.
 
You could find a cloud service, use a NAS, a full server, another computer, a second hard drive in your computer, optical media, usb flash drives, or an external hard drive.
Or a few hundred thousand floppy discs :)
 
assuming a 1TB drive, you only need 678,169 floppy disk. But you don't use floppys for large data backup. Generally just things you need but don't need on your HDD, like word docs or old game files, or even game saves. Tape drives are the thing to use for large data storage, but good luck finding a functional one.

(this is coming from a guy that uses floppys on a daily basis still).

LOOOL @ still using floppys, keeping it old school!
 
Safest and probably easiest way to back up your stuff these days is using Cloud. The way im backing up my PC and Mac is using BubbleBee back up software. Runs in the background and backs up all my files and i can also access the backup online or on my phone.

There are a few companies that do it so its worth looking into.

Check www.mybubblebee.co.uk and my sig

Couple of things.
1. Don't reply if it does not answer the OPs question/statement.
2. Double post is not good. There is this thing called an edit button. Use it please.
3. Cloud is far from the most secure method. You are much better off with using network storage or a RAID 1 array than the cloud.
 
I agree that you want to have more than one backup, you never know what could happen. It's also good to have a backup which is 'out of the house', whether that is in the cloud or on an external hard drive which you give to a neighbor or family member to look after just in case anything happens to your house and for whatever reason all your backups are lost.
