Single systems of backup are not safe if the information is truly important. Two or three copies on hard drives stored in different locations are an effective backup storage methods. The same could be said for cloud storage plus your own hard drive storage.

I have only had one backup hard drive failure. I thought it was important at the time but life goes on and the information on that drive was not nearly as important as it appeared in that moment.
