The “best way” in our opinion is to have the process be as automatic as possible, especially if you’re dealing with non-technical users. Installing and running a program like http://www.pcworld.com/resource/pr […] werQuest’s Datakeeper or http://www.centered.com/”Centered Systems’ SecondCopy will automatically copy new or modified files to another folder, local or remote hard drive, or removable storage device. The easiest way to go with one of these solutions is to use another system’s hard drive for the backup, especially if you have a number of systems, a lot of data, or both to back up! You can then back up that single drive to removable media, which can be stored in a fire-proof box or preferably off-site. Your choice of media will be mainly dictated by the size of the backup and personal preference.
