Portable hard drives. I do it myself and take it offsite. Drives are encrypted.
Matt J. Same here and I use a cloud back up through Idrive. I’m extra cautious
I do the same. And restore to home computer once a week to make sure I’m getting a good backup.
Backup to a removable hard disk, then save a copy to my desktop which is backed up by windows one drive to their cloud

Idrive I think I spent under 100 for the entire year
External hard drive USB 3.0 every night and restored on laptop at home.
There are a lot of ways to accomplish a dental backup. Just make sure you hit the big 3 check-boxes at minimum.
1. Local Encrypted
2. Off-Site Encrypted (can be cloud)
3. Test for Recovery (most don’t do this)
Reuben K. how often do you test for recovery?
Warren W. Every backup we run is of the full server, and it is tested on each run (every hour). This is the sleep at night gut check for you and me
Reuben K. hey, I was just thinking about this today…how do we test for recovery so we know it’s actually a good working recent copy (on both the cloud and local encrypted drive)?
We like crash plan pro for cloud backup
