backup strategy
kalos:
I think I 'll go for Google Drive, anything Google is reliable, but how do I set it up to copy my files whenever there is a change in them in the cloud?

e.g again using Syncovery

just installed that, it doesn't even allow you to specify multiple folders in a backup job!
and so many settings are a bit overkill I think
do I have any other reliable option?

yeah, I know what you mean

use a pen drive

I like very much pen drives to do backups, they have great advantages. However as far as I know they are not fully reliable. That's why I use two pen drives, different brand.

For q balance of speed and ruggedness for USB 3.0 I have come to rely on AData s102 series. At newegg a 128GB can be had for less than $45 including shipping for those in the contiguous 48 states U S of A.
The first one I bought was a 32GB. As I mentioned before I kept it in my pocket in harsh conditions(much of my body weight on it at times) and it is still working perfectly after more than 3 years. Since then I purchased a 64GB and a 128GB of the same model. I am waiting for one more price drop for the 256GB if that ever happens(right now $116 seems just a tad high.)
I use the 128GB for Macrium incremental backups. It works wonderfully.
