As explained in Backup, it is very important to backup all the files stored on your household computers. It is also important to consider backing up your most critical files to storage that is not kept in your home. This is called an offsite backup and it can include:

• Backups to cloud storage
• Backups to storage outside the home, such as a second LaCie CloudBox at a relative’s house.

Offsite backups give you peace of mind since your files are protected from worst-case scenarios such as:

• Hard drive failure
• Fire
• Flood
• Natural disaster
• Theft
