I didn't see it either, hence I posted this post. No Mitsubishi's, hope it's not just a piece of clipart they had.

How many of you backup your essential stuff off-site?
This can be a neighbour or better a family member in another city or

The problem is the transport, so this is actually a great application for a community WiFi network.

I keep my copies of data distributed across the house, so hopefully 1 copy will survive a catastrophic event.

nice idea, but u sound rather paranoid to me, Raid-5 and then still data put on more computers? Will work u out cheaper installing a server room at your house with "smoke detectors (and maybe even mission imposible like rotating doors"....

Got the server room (half a pic on page-4) with smoke detectors. :) Some of the doors are automated but not all. :D

One thing I've learned about data, the more backups you have, the less the chance anything will go wrong. Don't ever trust a single system with your data. RAID-5 in itself only gives you a little bit more peace-of-mind. What happens if you get a electrical or other fault and the RAID loses 2 drives? I've seen many a corporate cry because they thought RAID was the answer. It's PART of the answer.

And with disk space so cheap, having multiple copies is really a no brainer. It's all automated.

So implement a proper child, parent, grandparent system with separate locations and nothing will go wrong in the first place. ;)
