These things will be the death of me...

I've ran through a stretch of bad luck (and a bit of carelessness on my part) regarding these suckers. I've had to send for recovery both a 1TB Lacie External Harddrive (thunderbolt, but still) and a small 16GB Kingston USB drive in the past 3 months. Needless to say, I need to learn to start backing stuff up.

What do you guys use and/or suggest? TimeMachine? Google Drive? Dropbox? I appreciate your help!
