I'm a nut for backups, I have a local copy of all my music/e-mail/photos on my laptop, which I back up once more onto an external hard drive once or twice a month. It only takes one hard drive crash in which you lose data to make you think twice about these things. Fool me once...

I agree, Matthew -- all it takes is one disaster to make you think
hard about backups.

on the flip side - I bought a new laptop monday, downloaded my gmail contents into a local mail app. i had to return the laptop because of the fan and forgot to wipe the data.

seems either way - data is always at risk to carelessness.

That's true, Jeff. Thanks for the comment.
