Yes, mine get backed up to a backup drive and to the cloud from my iPad.

Everything I have is on an external hard drive.

I transfer most stuff to CDs (not as often as I should.) From long experience, I can't trust electronic equipment… ;-)

I used to use an external HDD but these days I back them up to two different cloud providers.

Thanks for the reminder, I just backed up my laptop files to a USB.

I have a linux file server which our systems do nightly backup jobs to. Except my wife's Mac; TimeMachine kept finicking out and losing the server so after years I finally gave in and got her an external HDD.
