Yes, you are. Backups to drives which are then taken out of any electrical connection with the computer or the wall so they can't be zorched by some freak electrical surge. Perhaps even stuffed in a media safe (those things like "fire safes", but specified to keep temperatures down below those which kill devices and plastics, not just ignite paper). Then you'll sleep like a contented stone. > giddy with power Congratulations! I routinely stuff a Raptor in as the non-raided boot disk, and leave /Applications on there, too. Snappy.
