How do you back up your work?

I wouldn't really store very sensitive data on the cloud anyway, but if you're that paranoid, just encrypt it yourself first before uploading it.

Duuude. There's just not enough brain bleach for that image.

My main backup is an external harddrive. I periodically email myself my last WIP and other stuff to my email account for a bit of off-site coverage.

Dropbox keeps my stuff both backed up to the could and synchronized across all my computers and devices. I can start a chapter on the Mac, continue it on the iPad, and finish it on the office PC, all without having to copy a single thing manually.

I also back up my main computer to an external hard drive via Time Machine. Redundancy is good.

I back up my work each day on a small portable external drive. Also, every five days back it up on a larger black box thingy (that plugs into the wall - I'm not very technical).

I've got a fear of losing work, as I had a bad experience when writing my Phd thesis a few years ago.
