Then again, I have a fairly robust configuration at my house. What&#039;s missing is an offsite storage, so a natural disaster that wipes out my entire house would be... problematic. But I&#039;m fairly well protected from a single component failure.</p><p><br /></p><p>Years ago I used to work for a software company that sold backup software. Even today the cost of backing up your data is far lower than the cost of losing your data. I went through this years ago (thus the mirrored configuration I run now) and the drive I sent to the recovery center turned out to have hard crashed. Meaning it wasn&#039;t just a mechanical or electrical issue, the heads had cratered the plate, destroying any possibility of recovering the data. It cost me $100 just to get that bad news. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie3" alt=":(" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
