How I back up and organize my evidence so nothing gets lost mid-process

A purely practical post: had a scare partway through when a laptop issue nearly cost me weeks of organized work, and want to share the backup habit I adopted afterward, since I hadn't taken this seriously enough before that close call. What I do now: everything lives in cloud storage with automatic syncing, not just a local folder, and I keep a secondary backup (a second cloud provider, updated weekly) specifically for the case file, treating it with more redundancy than my other, less consequential files. I also periodically export and save a snapshot of my organized evidence structure, not just individual documents, so I'm not reconstructing my organization from scratch if something goes wrong. This sounds obvious written out, and it probably is — but I didn't take it seriously until a real scare made the stakes concrete. Months of gathering and organizing evidence represents genuine, hard-to-replace work, and it's worth treating the backup question with real seriousness from the start, not after a close call like mine.
