Back it up!!! There is no excuse anymore

In the last few months I know of 5 people who have lost entire drives, all their personal pictures, work data etc... All because a hard drive crashed, broke, got a virus etc.

There is no excuse anymore. A HUGE 750GB drive - enough to hold multiple backups of your drive, like little snapshots are cheap... $129 last check.. Now you can have 2 copies of your data.. Great for 99% of the time, not if your house burns down.. solution - buy two - keep one at a friends, in your safety deposit box etc... cycle them 30 days at a time.. now you have offsite redundant backup..

Use your google, mobileme account etc - that free 5-20GB of space they give you for emails etc - a perfect place to keep some offsite backups of pictures work files etc.

And for those of you on mac - make sure your using 10.5 with Time Machine - THAT TIME MACHINE IS ENABLED and that you have the drive for it... you don't need anything special etc..

Call me if you need a hand, but for goodness sake.. don't be a dolt, back it up!
