Backup Your Data

[Byte Stryke]

One thing I love about the newer versions of Mac OS X ( the last 3 or 4 ) is built in back up. Mines does it over the wireless network hourly.

How does one back up their data? I wonder if I should back up the files and DB from COAR.

No it gives all of us plausible deniability

with all this discussion about diligent backups, remember two more things.
1. A backup doesn't exist unless it's been restored. Make sure you test your restore operation occasionally, Otherwise you'll be even more pissed the next time.
2. Data is volatile and does not exist unless it's been backed up twice in two different physical sites. (cloud, safe deposit box, relative's house, etc...)

I have about 1TB of space available for remove backups if anyone with a higher post count than me would like to use the "Friend" backup with Crash Plan (crashplan.com). This space is backed up as part of my unlimited (448bit + passphrase secured) plan with them. Download their client and read up a bit; PM if you'd like to use some of that space.

Amen... one is none, two is one and neither can be counted on unless you have done a recover to prove the verity of the method.
