Hi,

I've read that data can be damaged by being stored on an external hard drive. But I don't want to lose ANYTHING.

Do you think that backing up on a CD like in the old days allows you to keep your data without loss ?

What's the solution ?

And stupid question : the data, images, videos etc stored on the internal hard drive of the PC that we use every day, do not decline ? It's only on external hard drives stored in the cupboard ?

I would like someone to explain it all to me
