    IL, thumb drives are not meant for long term storage. They fail a lot more than external hard drives, from what I read. I backup on on a combo of Apple iCloud, Google Photos/Drive, Microsoft One Drive.

    Happy: I guess that's a good outcome if it doesn't need to be replaced.

    oh I know, but with the combination of thumb drive, computer, hard drive, and iCloud, I figure I’m covered for most things.

    if I had serious data, I would get an external hard drive. I still might do that.

    I do have an external hard drive, but confess that it's been a bit too long since I've done a backup onto it. Now on my to-do list. Thanks.

    Glad the reminder helped!
