Writing game and storing it on one PC isn't the best idea.
One accident can ruin many hours of work.
Ain't nobody got time for that, right?

So what's the best way to backup your data?
I tried use Google Drive but unfortunately it did more harm than good. It syncs data just to make you mad and then cry

I would highly suggest using some form of DCVS. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Distribute ... ons_System

I highly suggest learning and using git: http://gitscm.com/

You can get a free or private repo.

If you are ok with your source being publicly available, use github.com, otherwise use bitbucket.org for private repos.

You can try Dropbox. It's really easy to use, but it doesn't give you much space unless you pay.

I use rdiff-backup.

All the suggestions here are good, but if you want to back up your entire hard disk image onto a portable hard drive, clonezilla does a great job. It scans everything, including operating systems like Windows and Linux, and compresses the data. It even works with encrypted drives. The process can take an hour or two if you have a USB 3 external drive.

So there's my two cents, so to speak.

I use Github. it's not backup system exactly, but it can manage your project easily, and if you lost your project, just pull your project from Github!

+1 to github. If you want something private and still free, bitbucket has you covered.
