Hey all! Just wondering who has backed up their novel so far and what the best method of backing up would be? I usually use Dropbox and I just backed up yesterday but I have gone three or four days with updating the backed up copy and I don't know about the rest of you but I live in constant fear that one day my computer will just crash and my dear little novel will be gone into cyberspace forever.

Do you have a google account? If you do, you should consider using google docs. When you attach your file, you can edit online. So if you write a bit of your novel in word, you can transfer your day's work onto the google docs file and won't have to worry about reattaching it. If you don't want to do that, you can always use a flash drive and update the file once every one or two days.
