Comment on Ask HN: How do you back up your 'daily driver' computer?

Comments

I do two things, about once per day, and never both at once:

1) Time Machine backup to external hard disc at my desk that is only connected and powered up for this job.

2) Off-grid back-up of less-sensitive stuff to Google Drive.

I also occasionally put a key backup off-site, eg I just gave a 5GB tarball of my key SVN repo to a friend to put on their backup system!
