Once I complete a project I backup my software at three seperate locations and 2 are hidden or password protected.

I do not use CDs or DVDs though. What do you guys do to backup completed project?

I usually use CDs if it is really important, as well as 2-3 backups on the pc...

Advantage of CDs is that if the hard-drive goes you have a nice "hard" backup, and the project cannot be overwritten, this has happened to be on the PC a few times when opening/changing files frequently.

I backup my software on a SD card, on my PC and on a ftp server. Every time I complete a software I rename the folder to the version (start at 1.0, then 1.2 or 2.0 or whatever). This prevents me from changing/deleting an old version.

Only the most current version are on my SD card. I also put the files in a zip for the FTP server. The zip file is locked with a password just in case.
