I have 3 separate backup drives that are stored in a fireproof container
that I make data backups to typically once a week. By having them not
normally connected to the computer, there is no risk from
malware/viruses/computer hardware failures.

It is important to have more than one backup/cloan just in case the drive
failure was caused by the computer, not the drive.

Also, I use the Acronis backup program. It will make a cloan of your your
hard drive to another drive that is bootable. That was, when my primary
hard drive fails (its when,not if), I will have a copy of the operating
system, all my programs, and all my data files.
