That's good.
from the regualr PC. I have an UPS and 2 surge protectors between all my PC
stuff and any electrical outlet. This IS a home system, and I don't really
have access to an off-site storage facility..
A friend's home in another town nearby, or even just at the work
office can be "off site" if it's several miles away. A bank safety
deposit box is better, but costs more. It doesn't have to be
a "data security vault provider". :-)
I do rsync daily to a 2nd internal HD, regualt backups to the Mybook external,
and I also burn DVDs of things that are critical ( to me).
I live in Georgia ( USA, north of Florida) and I have a UPS on my computer
stuff, and another one on my TV/stereo/Satellite setup.
I've got a sister who lives near Savannah, though I don't know
what the significance of living in Georgia is. There are banks
with safety deposit boxes in Georgia, and people even have
friends who live a few miles away in Georgia, so I hear :-)
