Gmail Drive will turn a gmail account into a hard drive that even
appears on your desktop. I also use Google documents. It is an easy
way to have Jean proof things I write. Here is a link to Gmail

The fly in THAT ointment is , unless you pull that
external drive out of the safety deposit box once a week,
update it and drive it back to the bank
till next week's update, you only have a backup of whatever is
on that drive... and if you have a hard drive
crash between weekly trips to the safety deposit box, well,
bye bye to whatever data you just added to your computer.
The off site things like Carbonite , while, yes, take a long time
to initially set up , will, from that point on, automatically back
up everything you do.. so once youre past that initial set up,
you are covered for any new data you add.

My neighbor and I have established a ritual. We each back our drives up to
external drives once a week. Sundays usually. Monday morning, we meet
for coffee and swap drives. His is safe at my house if he has a fire or
flood
and vice versa. And it's nice knowing that you know your neighbor. Gives u=
s
a chance to catch up on all the local gossip too .
A 250Gig hard drive will allow me to store three, maybe four (compressed)
backups of the 3 drives on my computer. I'm using Norton Ghost, but
I've been
told that Acronis is the way to go. Maybe someday, not right now.
Whatever, that
external drive is a month's worth of backups for me. I sleep better at nigh=
t
knowing my data is safe, and I know where it actually is.
Personally, I just can't bring myself to trust storing my data (whatever
form)
on someone else's server. It's a trust issue probably peculiar to me,
but there
you have it. I want to know where my data is. If worse comes to worst, al=
l
I have to do is walk, crawl or swim across the street to retrieve my drive.
Of course, that means you actually have to get along with your neighbor =

Not an issue in these parts.

Many fire safe companies have realized this market and have started to
integrate tech into their products, below link is an example.
