6. I know ALL about Deskstars....

They were the bane of my existence back in 2000 and 2001.

9. Amen!

I have two backup drives that are used alternate days, and I make a full DVD-R backup every two months.

Plus I have copies of most of the important stuff on my four offsite servers.

And I make CD-Rs of important things that I change between full DVD-R Backups.
