Preferred Digital Music File Backup?


I am trying to decide how to best protect the files that took many hours to rip.
How do you backup your files? Cloud or Hardrive? If Cloud...which service do you use?
Thanks in advance.

Data backup on Cloud can get damaged many ways.  It can be deleted/overwritten by user's mistake or malicious attack on his or Cloud computer (or major Cloud hardware/software failure).  To me internet storage is only acceptable as a second backup, that should be outside of the home anyway (fire, theft etc.).  I keep music on HD drive and two HD backups (one outside of home) - total of 3 drives because it is possible that, while updating backup, something (like virus, controller failure, my mistake etc.) will damage both drives.
I update only one backup (stagger them) at the time and only after 5-10 new CDs added.  It is very safe, since unpowered, disconnected drives in storage tend not to fail.
Good cloud storage includes versioning so human error is avoided and good ones are encrypted limiting hacks. Virtually all quality cloud storage has multi site redundancy.
Those top-6 never resulting in more than a few hours of data loss in one case. The Tencent was an anomaly.

Compare that to the horror stories many have w.r.t. backup failures that they thought were "robust".  Real time mirroring of your data, secure multi-location storage with robust protocols, background operation requiring no additional work except making sure the connection is live is going to be on average much safer.
