I hear you. Cloud services are convenient for access, but for sheer volume, a reliable external hard drive is hard to beat. I use a couple of those for my main archive.

So, you'd recommend an external hard drive over just cloud storage? Do you back up periodically, or keep it connected all the time?

Michael
第 8 轮
I do both, actually. I keep a physical backup on an external drive that I update monthly. And for more immediate access and a secondary backup, I also use a paid cloud storage service. It's called the 3-2-1 rule: three copies of your data, on two different types of media, with one copy offsite.
English
实际上，我两者都做。我有一个外部硬盘的物理备份，我每月更新一次。为了更即时的访问和二次备份，我还会使用付费云存储服务。这叫做3-2-1规则：你的数据有三份拷贝，在两种不同类型的媒介上，其中一份在异地。
