Computer Help and Support

I'll try to keep it simple, and spare you techie detail and alternatives.

Oh my goodness, 300MB is nothing these days.

First, don't use cloud ANYTHING. Any of your data that leaves the house -- consider it gone or government property.

Second, this is so little data. Get the smallest thumb drive or SD card you can (they are basically the same thing, copy your data to one, and then another one.

Keep one with you and one somewhere else. What if there's a fire or other calamity? Yes, the dog can easily eat them.

Smallest ones I saw are like 32 GIGABYTES these days. That's about 1000X the size of your collection.

This is as future-proof as you can get. If things change drastically, for example, your future computer maker deletes USB ports and SD card readers, someone (like me) will have equipment around to help you transfer data.

That said, USB thumb drives and SD cards are going to be usable a very long time.
They are not perfect. You can snap one in two. (I've done it D'oh!) so use more than one. They're so cheap.
Reliable enough, I think, unless you are a complete klutz.


As for your credit union, they all keep backups of data. Some have been ransom-wared, but have restored wiped systems and data from backups. You have proof of your account. It's called a 1099!

Reminder: don't use a simple password on your account, or one that you use on other logins. That's ALWAYS a good idea.
Some idiot used "MAGA2020" and got hacked!
