External hard drives are very inexpensive nowadays. It would be a good idea to have 2 or more, and rotate them once in a while. i.e. bring one out of storage, erase it and copy the current one over to it, then store the current one. I have a fire safe I store my drives in to keep them safe while in storage. Since the EHD are mainly backups of what is already on my laptop this works out as a reasonably inexpensive and non-time consuming method for keeping my stuff safe.
