Re: OT: How Often Do You Back Up Your Files
Even if you don't have a CD burner, you can still send backup files to some willing person for safekeeping. No system is failsafe, but the safest backups are always off site.

"Ok here is a copy of my important data including my bank PW's and on line account info. Please keep it in a safe place."
Do you trust any one with that information?

CD/RW? Why? CDR's are cheap, around 50 cents each when you buy 50 or hundred packs.

50 cents?!? Even in Canadian money... you have been ripped off my friend! The most I ever pay for them is 10 cents US each!  |

2 solutions:
-put that information on a second disc (even a floppy) and keep it somewhere else.
-encrypt the information first. Just a password-protected zip will be enough to keep ppl honest.
But yes, there are plenty of people I would trust with that information. |

Mine was great until it got zapped by lightning. I'm still hoping the guy I gave it to can recover most of the files on there, but he's been pretty busy. But darn, it's been almost a year since I gave it to him. If I can afford it, I'll get another one. My 40 gb hd is getting kind of full. |
