[Poll] How do you back-up you private key or secret seed?

How do you back-up you private key or secret seed?

This includes keys for:

• Bitcoin
• PGP
• Other cryptocurrencies

If you use multiple methods, which do you use most often?

Please note that some of the options above (e.g. cloud storage) are not recommended!

I voted for printed and cloud storage, i combine these two, but both of them are encrypted so even if someone would access there it should be decrypted first. I don't prefer to store the private key or the seed in flash USB drive because it can be easily corrupted.

Pen and paper is a old technique ,USB stick with Ubuntu is the safest.

Just because they're old, that does not mean that they're ineffective.

Hardware options are not included here ? Neither are other physical collectible coin wallets .

Don't use physical Bitcoin (art) for storing away money.

Cloud storage is a bad idea.

Hot wallet although it is encrypted, I rar it with strong password so no one can see transaction history and upload it to my second computer and to my email + cloud storage.

I wouldn't think that someone who wants to hack your wallet would be interested in your TX history, but that does make sense (I didn't think of this before).

I still feel like multiple ways of coping your wallet data is the best for your security. I have stored my private keys files on both HDD and removable drives.
Also written down secret seed on paper and hide it in a relatively safe place. I hope this is enough.

I'm always backing up my private keys on hard copies and memory stick. For hard copies, I have paper copies and PVC copies, like what ID cards are made off, and believe it or not I bought a USB thumb drive with just 1GB capacity and store all the private keys there along with my other important codes. I store the hard copies and thumb drive to a safe place.
