Go out and have unprotected sex.

Also, if you aren't regularly using rsync to sync to portable hard drives, then kill yourself right now.

I only have one external hard drive that has all my stuff on it. What should I do?

Will everyone backing up at once cause an overload on the mainframe computer?

Buy another of the same size and rsync it. Keep it in a separate physical location, sync and rotate them every few months. Simple as.

"The cloud" is just someone else's hard drive. Discuss.

What part of "Keep it in a separate physical location" don't you understand?

Your house burns down and you no longer have access to the other location. You would have been better off by also using "the cloud".

You mean...someone else's hard drive? What if their house burns down?

Why would I no longer have access to the other, as of yet unspecified, location? Does it also burn down simultaneously? Are we assuming a meteor destroys the entire earth?
