Reliable and secure cloud backup. 

[TeddyCross]

External HDD like G-RAID SHUTTLE 8 with cloud backup storage like Backblaze.

an external drive and a secondary computer that's never going to be connected to the internet. Any file that would be open would be from your external drive first and using a virtual pc first before being save to a redundant drives. This is on top of encrypting your drives. Also have a few redundant drives in other places. If you are talking about highly sensitive files that you don't want to spread, never use cloud storage.

secure important files like ur scandal? encrypt ur laptop or encrypt ur drive. dont save it on the cloud it can get hacked. pero kung secure na hindi madaling mawala na madali mo din ma access dun ka sa cloud.

Encrypt your drive/files. 
I find Veracrypt useful for when you did not encrypt your drive don't/can't reformat your drive.

For drive, the os usually has a tool for encrypting entire drives (though iirc windows needs at least a pro version for that)

Kung Hindi nmn sobrang laki ng files, iba pa rin ang tibay ng CD. 

[puggspunny]

If you need yung files readily/easily available and accessible, encrypted HDDs like sabi ng iba. Pero if for occasional use or archives lang, zip files with passwords are more than enough to encrypt document files lalo if looking into cheap/free solutions

2 password protected external drives to protect against manufacturing defects, human error, and potential theft. It's rare, but security is to exists in a state of mild paranoia.
