If your PC or laptop got stolen or destroyed, what would it mean to you?

[RATTER15]

Do you have all important files, music collection, photos etc backed up somewhere else?

I have 3 separate drives on my PC, two of witch are used for backup, should my PC be stolen or destroyed, I keep most but not all backed up on photobucket etc and I keep a load of stuff on DVDs, also my good lady Carakeel has all important file backed up on her pc and vice versa. Carakeel also has an external HD for storage. Saying that, I know that if my PC were to die I would find a lot of stuff not backed up for sure.

Create full backup image using freeware program macrium reflect. The backup file can be browsed and individual files copied. Copy file to external hard drive.

Mine is all backed up on my son's computer network system at his home. Don't ask me how!! He is my computer administrator and has his own 'domain' whatever that means. I would be lost without him!!!

Mine is all kept on EHD's and duplicated.

two external hard discs in different rooms (ideally one should be in Fort Knox)

I keep meaning to back everything up....

I'd be annoyed but there is nothing on any of the PCs in the house that matters.

The only thing that I would be upset about are my photo's.
Nothing else matters.

Don't keep your back up with your PC. If someone's breaks in and nicks the pc/laptop, they'll probably nick everything around it too. If there's a fire the it's unlikely to ruin the pc but spare the back up.

Pusskin, if you store your photos on Picasa they'd be available whatever happened to your computer.

I've put my photos onto a memory stick and a special set onto a CD too. (I don't trust a third party to stay in existance to be honest!)

I've printed off tickets I've booked and kept them as emails which I could access from another PC if I had to. I don't think there's anything else I'd lose, but off to double check now!
