Here’s another tool you should be using, if you ask me, especially if your carrying around a laptop containing months (even years) of valuable information, like I do. At Mozy you can get a simple but effective tool that creates a backup of your important files on the Mozy servers. The free account has 2 GB of space, which should be enough for the important data, but there’s an unlimited account as well…
Mind you, if you’re really paranoia (or if your boss makes you behave like that) do keep in mind that your files are now on a server that is not under your control…
