I am using Carbonite an online backup service but there are many others out there including a new service from Amazon. I am curious how people back up their computers today. Please share!

@DocAndersen Something my technician gave me a long time ago. I stick it in my computer and check it. I use Fbackup that I technician installed for me to back up.

@DocAndersen by the way, are you a doctor by profession?

I like old school. I still prefer writing things down and printing stuff.

We have important data, the backup is made to the NAS (network attached storage) automatically. I think that the backup program is AOMEI Backupper.
