I tend to live in fear of instant hard drive death. While I don't want my computer stolen (it's happened once before already), I can do things that make theft less likely. I really can't do much about instant hard drive death, and if I plan for my data to live though that, it'll live though most anything
( ... )
Yes, but I also administer backups as part of my standard workday, so I make sure that it's always backed up :) So while my HDs can blow up at any moment (and I HAVE had that happen to me), all that stuff is also on tape, and on virtual storage space, too.
I'll have to investigate some of that offline sync stuff. Sounds like a good practice.
The off line files thing is a Windows component they introduced in XP, but is much better now in Vista. I don't know of any apps that would do that for Macs or Linux.
