However, we’re sure some of you have some great ideas as to how to get around this- leave us a comment and we’ll consider adding it to this article! A good solution for PC users to have a backup of their data is using an online file storage service like Box.net or one of the many services that we covered back in in 2009 in this article.

In reply to Rolfski. @DJ Dennis: Agree that making people think about back-ups in the first place is a big plus of this article. However, I still think that the author should at least have done some basic research on this topic in order to give the PC users some sensible guidance

In reply to DJ Majestic.

carrying a 2nd laptop would be the ultimate solution for me,but it also sucks,i hate carrying a heavy and big bag through airports (plus some companies have a limit on the hand baggage weight which is easy to exceed with a 2nd laptop,because i already carry a controller,sound card,cables,cd’s).
So,my solution is to carry a 2nd internal hard drive with me(which is cloned from the drive that is in use) and a screwdriver,in the worst case that my laptop has failed and its not the hard drive then i play with cd’s.

You never loose a performance and you don’t loose your data(always keep a back up of the back up!!!!).

Here’s what works for me. I don’t use my laptop for storage of my files. All files are on external drives. I carry two laptops every gig. One in case I have to download a file at the last minute, that can be a back-up in case the primary fails. Same with the external drives. I carry 2 exact duplicates complete with cue points and all. Problem solved unless they both simultaneously combust at the same time.

Dude. If you’re a windows user just create an automated Robocopy batch script. Set it to run whenever and copy to a back up. It’ll do full sync. If you’re a Mac or Linux use rsync command line is the way to go. It’s easy to setup a cron job to automatically do it.

Also Skrillex has skillz. Most of you don’t. Nuff said.
