how do you organise your files and backups?

i have a macbook so i used to just have a 1TB samsung portable external hard drive, partitioned into 2 - time machine and loose files, mainly films. then the film folder is two parts - films i've seen and films i still want to see. when that 500GB gets full i shift all the stuff i've seen onto a crappy old non portable hard drive a couple of times a year

i lost the samsung the other week though and bought a new one, and tehn found the old one. so now i've got two of these samsung 1TB portable drives set up in the same way, and syncing them with eachother from time to time, so if one fails it's no big deal.

is there a better way i could be using this stuff? idk.

what's your system if you dont mind me ask
