Keep in mind -- bash-scripting solutions may not be worth the time to deal with, not everyone is required to have command-line foo. But if you can, it gives a heck of a lot of control.
You will probably feel better with a pre-packaged GUI.
Backups are always good. They cannot hurt, and may help. 
Having multiple methods is good, you can use Copy.com/Dropbox/SpiderOak/others to make your files available everywhere, and preserved against sudden destruction... while at the same time using a program similar to Apple's Time Machine to protect yourself from accidental deletion/bad modifications, as well as insurance against Copy messing up.
Redundant backups are an important concept in keeping data safe from accidents, to wit, there is no such thing as redundant -- it is all useful. |
