A truly effective backup routine needs to protect against on-site disaster, ransomeware, human error and hardware failure. But one size doesn't fit all - you need different systems for different risks. In this video I go into all the variables and design a hassle-free, affordable system that you'll actually use.

Thanks to my sponsor PCBWay for supporting this video. PCBWay offer PCB fabrication, CNC and 3D Printing and more. They have been super efficient and friendly with all the projects I’ve used them for and I’m very happy to recommend them.
