Default Help needed - Computer stuff

For the overwhelming number of home users, having to go to the bank
and get a safe deposit box to swap disks would be enough of an
obstacle to make the plan fail. You can always improve on any backup
system in some way. The worst backup is NO backup, and I hear about
those tragedies all the time. A backup stored onsite is better than
that by a country mile, even though it's not "as good as it gets".



I keep it very simple. There's virtually nothing stored on my computer
that so important that it even needs to be backed up. I've occasionally
burned some CD's with stuff I'd like to keep like pictures or special
music, but if the computer died tomorrow, no big loss.

I also don't have a clue what I'd do with a huge hard drive, internal or
external.
My 3 year old HP laptop has a 90 Gig hard drive. After 3 years 72 Gigs
are still available.

Highly technical answer: It all depends.
