But do people KNOW that E-Gold has backups?? Note, also, that E-Gold does not keep a 'LIVE' backup. Take the, (not defunct), CompuBank. I know the person in charge of all of the hardware and software for CompuBank. They had LIVE, real-time backups, to servers in Dallas AND California. If someone ran an airplane into their servers, here in Houston, they would not lose ANY data. E-Gold, however, is not large enough yet to maintain a LIVE backup off-site. They keep a daily backup offsite. This means that if an airplane runs into E-Gold's servers, they would lose the day's business, but would be able to recover the vast majority of their customers' wealth. All transactions made during the day of an emergency would be lost. However, as the price of gold rises, and as the demand for physical gold grows, E-gold is not keeping pace. This can only mean that people do not think of e-gold in the same category as real, physical gold. Someday they will.
