This is a critical question. The most efficient, resource-friendly, and reliable method of creating backups is by using a secondary hard drive. However, creating backups on a remote server can be potentially safer, especially in the event of a server hack. In such a situation, backups on the secondary hard drive may be compromised, while backups on the remote server may remain secure.
However, the remote backup process is usually more resource-intensive and less reliable. The backup utility can also unexpectedly stop working at times. Therefore, it's crucial to check the backup files regularly and frequently to ensure that they are up-to-date and that the backup process is working correctly.
