<title>Where to store your backup</title>
29
<p>You should store backup copies of your files somewhere separate from your
30
computer - on an external hard disk, for example. That way, if the computer
31
breaks, the backup will still be intact. For maximum security, you shouldn't
32
keep the backup in the same building as your computer. If there is a fire or
33
theft, both copies of the data could be lost if they are kept together.</p>
35
<p>It is important to choose an appropriate <em>backup medium</em> too. You
36
need to store your backups on a device that has sufficient disk capacity for
37
all of the backed-up files.</p>

<p>Some of these options have sufficient capacity to allow for a backup of
67
every file on your system, also known as a <em>complete system backup</em>.</p>
