Re: More lost data...
I finally got smart by taking one machine in the house and building out a web/mail/file server. I took an eMac G4 800Mhz, 60GB, 1GB RAM, Superdrive and started keeping all of the files for myself and my wife on it. No matter what machine you use in the house...the files are stored on the server. All I have to do to backup the whole lot is throw in a few DVDs. So restoration of any file to anyone is a breeze...especially since my wife never backs up her data. If I need to be on the go...I have a utility called ExecutiveSync which in one click moves over the files and folders I have designated to never leave home without. Since I have the server web connected...I can also connect through WebDAV, SSH, AFP, etc...if I forgot something. I also can use ExecutiveSync to backup my files from the road...god forbid a machine gets stolen. The three books I'm writing are more valuable than a piece of machinery. Also, I recently installed OS X Server...and as far as remote admin work...it makes keeping all the laptops in the house up to date...a breeze. I'm also thinking of getting that new maxtor drive with the one button backup.
