Backing up

[BigV]

Kudos to you!

Making a backup is very (veryveryvery) much easier than it used to be. I personally use the solution described above by busterb. External hd, Acronis TrueImage to "image" the hard drives. It's very easy, complete, reliable, inexpensive--I know I'm gushing here, but I, like many of my colleagues here, bear some painful backup scars and those days are largely gone. The small distributed backups are just soooo easy anymore, anybody, including you, Cloud, can do them. And should do them.
