that's exactly how I was backing up. Then I got ransomware and lost nearly 1tb of photos and videos.

My method over the years is to use multiple external drives. You plug them in backup data unplug. I have a stack of them. At least you have something to restart with.

I have received so many of those emails and nothing happened. I have used for last ten years + Seamonkey as my browser. Most of the virus or attack ware malware are written for common use browser like MS or Firefox. As long as you don't click on any link.

I guess the other thing that helps avoiding issues is to use a router and not direct connect to your modem or provider.

That wasn't an email. It was in every folder on my external drive. the files all had random extensions and you couldn't do anything will them.

Now I keep everything in the cloud. Roast my notebook or phone and I can be back up and running in no time.
