Eric, I have a new personal stuff rule that says: 2 cloud copies and 2 local copies of everything important For cloud, there are more solutions than letters in the alphabet, but, since you mention your iPhone, iCloud is $120/year for a terabyte. And, everything is automatic. Google Drive is also $120/year for a terabyte. I'm also a fan of the lower-profile but rock-solid Mozy.com service. It's way more expensive $120/year gets you a mere 125GB, but it is auto-magical on the desktop. I can easily set a custom, folder-by-folder profile of what to backup off of my PC to the cloud. AND, I can have that same profile replicate the same backup to a separate shelf drive. And all actions can be set to be as automatic and as frequent as you like. So, I have two separate drives in the house, and two in the cloud. Of course, there's always the 35mm film option.....
