There is no backup strategy that fits everyone. -- While we all have computers and laptops, we don't all have the same storage capabilities. For one, doing free uploads a lot to the internet with a website Dropbox is a solution. For another, it costs too much to buy an external disk. In another case, we need a whole network of home users backed up. And so on... I agree that because of this, you have closed both questions for being not constructive. There are backup tips that could be applied to most occasions. -- In http://superuser.com/questions/374386/how-to-store-and-preserve-lots-of-data we see some of these, namely "multiple copies, try a restore, consider measuring reliability, try keeping it secure, ..." which is actually useful advice which I could actually directly apply to my backup strategy, if I had one. Should we put lists of possible backup strategies in a tag wiki, or ...? -- It could be possible to put them in a tag wiki, but consider that that could possible clutter the tag wiki with way too much information. We should however **try to only mention the well-known popular** programs and services and then just mention links to sites that return alternatives, like Wakoopa / Alternative-To / ... An alternative is to **write an article for the blog**, at our Wordpress Dashboard (and now at our Trello) we have had an empty draft titled `Backups, better to be safe than sorry!` for quite a long time. And it would be interesting to house the different software and service strategies under a title "What are popular software and service strategies for backing up?" and then do a second paragraph like "When trying to implement a backup solution, which things could I keep in mind?" referring to the backup tips. As for these questions, [is it time to hold a great question deletion audit](http://meta.stackoverflow.com/questions/122120/the-great-question-deletion-audit-of-2012)? --
