You hope that your computer will never break down? This is a false hope, personally, I’ve lost data from 4 hard drives, including 1 from work. Initially, I wasn’t doing backup either. If it wasn’t for monthly backup of my work disk, I would have lost much important data. I’ve been keeping files in cloud for a long time. This makes it possible to archive data in real time. In the case of a disk malfunction, you only loose the file you are currently working on. At first, I was using Dropbox (dropbox.pl), but the small space available for free - 2 GB - was a huge problem. That’s why I’ve additionally installed MEGA (mega.nz), which offers 50 GB for free.
