   I back up all my documents to an external hard drive every week however no category in you poll for me so I voted for GEDCOM stored locally but I DO back up regularly.

   My entire hard disk is backed up to an external hard drive, my genealogy database is backed up separately onto a USB stick that I carry with me. Lastly I burn my genealogy database onto a DVD which is then mailed to my brother's house.
   
   So, I have one 'on site' backup, my external hard drive, one 'transportable' backup, my USB stick, and one 'offsite' backup, a DVD at my brother's house.

   I use both. I use an online automatic back up, via Myheritage plus I back up to a remote harddrive.
   
   This is way too valuable an undertaking not to take a few moments to back it up!

   Thanks for the reminder! I would go and do a GEDCOM download now but I bet the site is busy with all those members who are thinking the same thing. So, I'll leave until tomorrow and put it on the to do list.

    Dropbox keeps a copy of all my research including FH photo's; it also syncs the data between my desktop pc and laptop. In addition I keep a copy on my NAS (dual disk RAID device). Belt and bracers for me, my info is too valuable to lose, over 15 years of hard work.
