Well, you know what I mean. You have a character that you have a crap load of time invested in. Probably leveled and modded that character to death. Do you keep a back up save of your character that you update on a USB flash drive or on another hard drive should something happen to your PC or console?

I do. I have two USB flash drives backed up on my character. A beginner file with a level 81 Nord and a current file seeing as I've contributed a lot of time to this character. Reason being, I don't ever plan on starting at level 1 again seeing as it takes time that I don't really have to sit there and spam and grind levels when I can just continue that experience with a character that I've grown to see as the face of Skyrim in my perspective. I had a good experience. I don't want to lose that.
