Hey all.
I've been making stuff on Logic and Ableton for about 9 months now... I have quite a bit of material and it's not something I plan on losing. I understand back-up is important but I just don't know where to start.
Cloud storage? External Hard Drives? A USB flash drive?
I want something that I can plug in every now and then and save ALL my files from this laptop, I don't care about security for now (although it would be nice to keep under the bed), and this is assuming my apartment will never burn down. Also, I don't care about having an external drive to keep samples on. All I care about is storage, just incase you know, I drop my Macbook or it dies on me. I'm using a Macbook Pro, so I only have 2 usb's and a thunderbolt output (One usb is split between a MIDI controller and a mouse, and the other usb is running an audio interface). So unless it's a Thunderbolt, I'm not fond of the idea of having something extra plugged into my computer 24/7.
Seriously though I have no idea. I know nothing. I just want to know what I should do to back stuff up in this case the worst happens to this computer.
