Yeah, I started a thread like this one a few months ago. You could use
TrueCrypt or something like it so that if someone walks into your server
room, pulls the hard drive out of the machine, and walks away with it,
they'll have a really hard time actually reading anything off the disk.
That's a pretty good added level of protection, but...
The bottom line is that you want to identify the single points of failure in
your organization and eliminate them. If the Executive Director's laptop
hard drive takes a dive, you've eliminated that single point of failure,
because the data is now in a secondary location (on your BackupPC server).
If your ED's brain goes down, and the information on his or her drive is
crucial to the continued existence of the organization, you have a problem.
Organizations have to trust their employees to some extent, or they won't
get very far.

Beautiful is writing same markup. Internet Explorer 9 supports
standards for HTML5, CSS3, SVG 1.1, ECMAScript5, and DOM L2 & L3.
Spend less time writing and rewriting code and more time creating great
experiences on the web. Be a part of the beta today.
