Secured online backup probably may best way.


How would you know it is "secure"? Serious question, one of the most
fundamental things about security is keeping physical possession. But
now all of the"cloud" marketing departments are busy telling us that
isn't true and we can trust "the cloud" since obviously it is totally
secure...


Call me a luddite- I want the CPU, the software, and the storage,
sitting in front of me where I can beat on it. Yes, I am lax about
backups, but there truly is nothing on this spindle I can't live
without. Critical stuff gets burned to disk as I create it, and I simply
don't create that much critical stuff at home. More or less the same at
work- they do back up the assigned work spaces on the shared drives, but
anything important I burn a CD anyway.
