In my previous posts about backing up your web sites, I mentioned why it is important to do a backup and what you should backup. In this part, let’s cover how and where to backup.
There are many ways you can backup your data. Here are just a few that I myself use.
Computer Hard Drive
The easiest and most obvious would be to make backup copies on your own computer. The problem with making backup copies on your computer is if something were to happen to it. If your computer “dies” or gets stolen, you lose all your data including your backups. So, why even bother?
There are several reasons why you should.

Create an international presence
If a major part of your customer base comes from a different country from where you are, a SkypeIn number in that country can be very useful. If you were based in Australia, for example, but more than 50% of your customers are from the US, you could subscribe to a US SkypeIn number for as little as AUD$4/mth (USD$3/mth).
