<h2>There is no backup strategy that fits everyone.</h2> <p>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...</p> <p>I agree that because of this, you have closed both questions for being not constructive.</p> <h2>There are backup tips that could be applied to most occasions.</h2> <p>In <a href="http://superuser.com/questions/374386/how-to-store-and-preserve-lots-of-data">How to store and preserve lots of data?</a> 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.</p> <h2>Should we put lists of possible backup strategies in a tag wiki, or ...?</h2> <p>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 <strong>try to only mention the well-known popular</strong> programs and services and then just mention links to sites that return alternatives, like Wakoopa / Alternative-To / ...</p> <p>An alternative is to <strong>write an article for the blog</strong>, at our Wordpress Dashboard (and now at our Trello) we have had an empty draft titled <code>Backups, better to be safe than sorry!</code> 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.</p> <h2>As for these questions, <a href="http://meta.stackexchange.com/questions/122120/the-great-question-deletion-audit-of-2012">is it time to hold a great question deletion audit</a>?</h2>
