I hate backing up my data! (But I have to)

A solution for those with money to burn. But what if there was an earthquake and the bank vault got destroyed along with my computer?

Maybe I better think of out of state data storage or multi-state data storage solutions. Does Fort Knox rent out space?

But you are right.... at least a 4th drive could be an option. Swap it out ever 6 months or so.

Then you'd have bigger problems than restoring backups...

(Is western Florida really that seismically active?)

Well, no but there's always a first time for everything. But we have hurricanes and now Jeb Bush continuing as our Governor, himself a walking disaster.

Will they do off site storage on the Space Station?

What, you want to risk a meteoroid strike or a solar flare around unshielded off-the-shelf hard drives? Ooooooo-kayyy....

Hey, Zix, by the way when can we in Florida best view the upcoming Leonid? Is it necessary to go out in the country to avoid light pollution? Though we are in a populated area I can find some isolated places that are fairly dark without having to drive so far out. Would that work?

What about finding one of those astronomy groups who may gather for the show?

Last year it was awesome. Our kids will never forget it.
