Neither of them lasts for more then a couple of years which forces you to back up data all over again. Not to mention in case of disaster such as fire or lightning all data are lost nevertheless. To actually store files safely, reliably and securely a new way of storing documents emerged and one of them is free online file storage space SpiderOak.
SpiderOak uses what many companies do to protect data and this is so called "mirroring data" by storing it on multiple hard drives in a process known as RAID. All you need is to download their client and open your own account with password which gives you in case of free usage a generous 2 GBs of free space. For more you will have to pay $10/month.
Uploading, downloading, storing and even sharing files is fully encrypted process known as "zero-knowledge" and means not even the company knows anything about your files. One of the best things I found most useful is the ability of backing up just about any file you can imagine of including executable files. In case you do not want a specific type of file to be uploaded you can simply restrict it in program's policy.
This application was actually built to synchronize data among multiple computers which you can achieve by installing the same program on each computer and selecting what folder you want program to monitor for backing up online, which results in storing these files on your network account. Thus documents are safely stored on external place unlike other media storage devices and this gives you ultimate safety over your important files.
