G'Day All
I have a back up storage problem
Background
years ago i stored stuff on the same system disk as the os, well i had a 
hard drive crash lost it all
them i put in a second Hard drive and back up everything on it, no os just 
data storage
it crashed after a few years
so then i bought a usb external hard drive
DISASTER i dropped it and cannot access it
data recovery services might be able to help i don't know

IS there any way to safe store data that i wont lose it other than a hard 
copy of everything
