Backing up my files
About 10 years ago I had a tape drive to backup my files. It was very slow and didn't fit in my later computers. I once tried to backup my files on cd's but the number of cd's I needed increased. On my iMac I was finally able to backup on DVD but now even my photo collection doesn't fit on one regular DVD anymore. Should I buy an external HD and use Time Machine? If I accidentally delete some files, I can restore them easily. But wait, what if both my computer and the drive get lost or burnt? Today I discovered Mozy which seems to be the solution I was looking for. My files are backed up online so even if my whole computer gets lost, I still can reach my data.

Don't forget to build that HD into the wall so it can't get stolen...

What if Mozy burns down?
I think it's time for a nuclear-powered 2TB(
+) external HD that comes with it's own fireproof safe and acts as a wireless NAS.
Just as every airplane comes with it's own black-box, and every axis-of-evil country comes with their own nuclear bomb/power-station, every modern house should have one of these.
