<font face="Comic Sans MS">Here's something that just occurred to
me. I used to know a guy in Wickenburg who was responsible for
the backups where he worked. He told me that once a week when he
came to work, he would take the last set of backups to the bank
where he put them in the firm's safe deposit box. He would bring
the tapes that were in the box back to the office where they would
be used for the next backup.<br>
<br>
I checked with my local bank and found a box big enough to accept
a hard drive would cost $24 a year. I don't recall whether or not
Yarnell has a bank. If it doesn't, a trip to Wickenburg wouldn't
take too long. If your home were to be threatened by fire, your
data would be safe. Of course be sure to encrypt anything you put
on that drive.<br>
<br>
If you can afford three drives, put a copy of the backup on two,
then take one to the bank. The next time you do a backup, make
sure it's on both drives at home and take one to the bank and
leave it there. Also bring home the one that was there. This way
you always have a copy of the most recent backup at home.<br>
<br>
You can always sign up for one of those online backup services if
one will support linux, but you may need several days to do the
first backup. After that, they only back up what has changed.<br>
<br>
Does anyone know if any of those online backup servies that
advertize on the radio will work with linux?<br>
<br>
Thanks<br>

<div>Thanks for the input, I knew the list would be
helpful and thoughtful.<br>

So I am revising my chromebook desire since the coverage
up there is pretty spotty to say the least.<br>

I am thinking I'll get at least one desktop, and one laptop.
but may get a second laptop or the cool looking zo-tac with
xbmc.<br>

Thanks der.hans and Joseph; Michael, Carl, Matt, Stephen et
al. for the thoughtful answers. <br>
I can put this one on the back burner now for a few months til
something is up there to live in.<br>
