Attach a USB hard drive and create a nightly rsync job

Fire or theft and all is gone. Great advice!

It is, actually. It's the first step of a 3-2-1 backup strategy. For most people, this is a massive, huge improvement by itself.

I wouldn't recommend rsync though, better something that can allow you to get back files you deleted before the last backup.

Encrypted hard drive for theft. For fire, I have another backup that I take periodically and put into storage.
