What is YOUR Backup Plan?

If you are 100% certain that your computer data is backed up and completely safe, delete this message.For the other 99% of you, do you have a backup plan that you are comfortable with?    If your computer crashes tomorrow, are you certain that all of your precious family photos have been backed up and saved?  If your home burned down, is your backed up data stored offsite, safe and secure?If you answered No to any of those questions, you are in the majority.  In my many years in the technology business, I have found that most people dont see a need to backup any of their data, until they have actually suffered the loss of some or all of their data.

Eighteen months ago, the external hard drive I used for my backup died.  Before I had a chance to replace it, the hard drive in my laptop died.  If the external backup drive was my only backup strategy, I would have been out of luck.  However, I also had an online backup service.  I was secure in the knowledge that my data was safe and recoverable.
