Two stores - 2 different brands of CD. Test both copies of the backups on a 2nd machine.

One set in the house ,  the other elsewhere. Date the discs and remaster every 2 years and use the old ones as working copys.

Also copy really important stuff like insurance policy numbers,  scans of ID etc, system discs onto disc and keep  in a CD carry case near the front door. (Obviously be carefull and keep the location to yourself) somwhere you can grab and literally run with.  

Then all you need after a disaster is a phone computer and a cup of tea and you're sorted :)

Paranoid ? Yep - but bloody effective if theres ever a fire or other data damaging event.

BTW = is it actually confirmed that Daz exectaubles (legal ones of course) HAVE this nasty ? 

 

 

Pinky - you left the lens cap of your mind on again.
