I have one computer that does nothing but backups. During the night, it runs Cobain Backup and gets all the important information from my machines, my wife’s machine and the servers. The backups are saved onto a USB drive which is swapped out once a week. I have three 250 GB USB drives. One is always connected to the backup computer, one is waiting on the shelf and one is at my office at UF. I am happy to report that in twenty years of using PCs, I haven’t only lost a significant amount of data one time… in 1989. I have lost an hour’s worth of work here and there do to a computer crash right in the middle of a project, but never more than that. [...] [...] I don’t chance things.
