Your method sounds good. Right now, I use paper. I do create backups (photocopies), although whether I'll buy another paper journal when I fill this one is an open question. One advantage that paper has is that, if properly preserved, it's quite durable; it's not vulnerable to file system changes or anything. A disadvantage is that it's laughably easy to destroy in a flood or fire, whereas data can be searched and backed up. I also have some irrational quasi-romantic attachment to a journal written in my own handwriting, but I'm probably going to need to let that go.
