I will suggest four methods of backing up your files that require very little
technical know-how.
1. Carbonite (www.carbonite.com) This is a paid service. You install a
program on your computer, then you don't have to do anything. Their plan to
backup one computer with unlimited storage size is $59 per year.
2. Google Drive (drive.google.com) This is free up to 5 GB, or $2.49 a month
for 25 GB. They have larger plans also. If you install the Chrome browser, you
can backup folders manually with a couple of clicks of your mouse.
3. USB Drives (not flash drives). Most of these (Western Digital for sure)
include software that will automatically back up your hard disk every time you
plug it in.
4. DVD burner. A Dual-layer DVD burner can store about 8.5 GB. I believe every
burner comes with software that allows you to drag and drop folders onto the
DVD. You can also do this with a Blu-Ray burner to get 25 Gigs on a disk.
