Serious question:

How do you guys handle backups and how often do you do it?

I know I'm not doing particularly well. Once in a blue moon I'll copy over files from my main drive onto my secondary drive. But I'm not doing anything fancy - literally copy the Documents and a few other folders and that's it. I'm not compressing anything. I'm still keeping that secondary drive connected to my PC so if I got a virus, all that data could be infected. I also store some files on my Gdrive and OneDrive but those have long since filled up and I rarely bother to go through them to delete what I didn't need anymore.

I feel whatever backup tools Windows has built in are probably worthless, but then again, I could be totally wrong on that.

Curious how real people handle this.

I'm a pro photographer and Backblaze has saved my butt multiple times.
