It also means that I've not had to pull my finger out and organise my storage, which I desperately need to. I've just pointed the software at loads of folders and left it to it.
I decided against backing up TV and Movies. But definitely music.

My total backup is around 2TB as well. I suppose you should go with what suits you.
@DSMITHFX I forgot to mention that my backup drive is at my DR site.

I think I'll look at what you've said, because local backups are obviously significantly quicker to restore. Maybe for absolute essentials. I used to backup locally, but rather than having a backup drive, as such, I backed up bits across various other drives.

True. I've had to recover from many a dead hdd, no fires/floods/nukes thus far (though I can see
nukes
from my balcony and we get plenty o' floods, none have reached the 13th floor, thus far).

We use carbonite for most stuff for windows computers. I still need to do something off site for linux mint ones.
I have considered renting a bank box and putting a monthly back up in there.

What is the best back up service to keep documents.
