Not a techie...I back stuff up on my external hard drive last year it got damaged, so I got another one. What does everyone back their external hard drive with cloud or another hard drive? Are you allowed to put it in a cloud because of HIPAA personally identifiable info?

All of the big ones (AWS, Google Drive, Dropbox, Box, Sharefile, etc) offer HIPAA compliant cloud storage.
You need to sign a form (BAA) and conform to certain protocols (like disabling certain features) but it's pretty simple.
Most of those services have knowledge bases with videos that show you how to do it.
I was a bit surprised to learn earlier this year that the google g suite email, is by default, not HIPAA compliant.
You have to go into the administrator settings and check a box to sign the BAA business associate agreement.
At the time, I was also comparing it to outlook, which I remember finding the outlook BAA HIPAA compliance option was only available to "business enterprise" tier level. I just did a quick search to confirm this, and it appears that maybe it exists for "business premium" tier level, but I cannot get that concrete answer.
