Backing up work
6 Answers
My C drive on my PC is getting perilously full. I have just bought an external hard drive (Seagate 500GB) and have transferred my documents onto it. The thing is, I am reluctant to delete stuff off my C drive, just in case my external drive fails! Other than keep buying more hard drives, is there a solution to this?! What would you do?

You are right to be concerned, having any backup in only one place is risky. An external hard drive can be dropped or stolen or stop working so dont have just one backup there.
I backup to 2 external hard drives AND a NAS drive. I also put important things like digital pictures on DVD.
There are a number of places you can make more backups:
On CD/DVD
On a memory stick (short term)
On a web based storage area (there are a number around, like Skydrive from Microsoft which is free)
On another computer.
You can use any or all of these.
