I back up my blogs this way.

I do not copy the wordpress files just the themes I use, and any changed pages I have done on them.I have a folder on my "desktop"
and subfolders "themes" and one for "modified files"

My most important files I backup to a flash drive

I have daily backups on my server it's good for now

Which hosts offer a good backup for a fair price

I have a copy of things in my D drive that I want to keep on Amazon drive cloud that I do not sinc. Shit's been known to happen when you sinc. I guess you could call it cold storage. Accounting files and things in process I keep in google drive folder that does sinc to google drive cloud. I also keep a copy of the accounting files on my D drive. Like I said, shit can happen when you sinc.

I do a weekly server backup and do a nightly wp backup on each wp app. I just keep one each on the server. Every so often when I think of it I download the most recent wp backups to my D drive in case shit happens and I don't notice for a couple days. Not perfect but it'll do. I keep a pretty good eye on things. If shit hits the fan I should be ok, if not I guess I have some rebuilding to do

So basically I have a set of files on my pc and another set on a cloud or server somewhere. I've lost things before in harddrive crashes and learned the hard way.

What about getting a hosting account at Godaddy for backing up?

Backing up on the same hard drive is not smart

That is how my server is, every night it does a backup

Mine gets backed up daily on to the same box and they also keep a weekly copy.

Guess what happens when your hard drive fails??????????

Backing up to the same server is not the answer. You have to back up to an offsite server or drive.
