Dan, It won't do me any good for my automatic backup (which goes to my hard drive) if that fails. It won't do me any good either if I back up to a CD/DVD or a flash/thumb/USB drive if there's an earthquake here in CA or the neighbor above me has a flood and everything is damaged down here. Or

Repost for Kathy Cardoza: Well, Sam, anything is possible I guess. I'm not sure how those facilities get hacked but encryption is always better to have than not. Remember that first they have to get past the encryption. Then they would need to have a program to open your file. Personally,I don't

Sam, Poke around in Dick Eastman's archives. He wrote about identity theft. www.eogn.com It's much, much easier for thieves to get it from your trash or other places. The only time I came close was when the kid at the hardware store stole my credit card number. I bought a bunch of stuff,
