Use Obsidian, setup a remote git backup (free) or pay them a few bucks a month for their sync service. No excuse for losing your files in 2026.

Bonus is: Obsidian is the best tool for writing and connecting ideas.

«Also, I lost all my files. Again, oh well.»

Really happy that happened to you because "getting burned" is the only way for ordinary people to find the motivation to do backups or use something like "Time Machine".

I do backups to two flash drives (partial) and two hard disks (full) in rotation.

Depending on situation two distinct "cloud" backups can also help but most likely some security service (etc.) will be scanning them ("because paedophiles and terrorists" :->), so I use that only for public files.
