[Elecraft] OT - backup software

[Jeff Stai]

Before Eric ends the thread ;) I'll mention Backblaze. It works in the
background and backs up to the cloud. And for one PC or Mac it's not
expensive. And it stays out of your way and doesn't hurt performance.

Other than that... keep your data organized so that it is easy to copy
everything that matters periodically to an external drive (set up a
calendar reminder). That software is free.
