I do save important stuff to 'other server' as a file on the private part of my rented website on a hosted server. (Still vulnerable to attack) I save important stuff to an encrypted email server as an email to myself. [E.G. copies insurance docs, licenses, last tax return, etc.] I also save two local back ups of all documents and files on external hard discs. One is 'slightly' off-site (the garden shed some 10 m from house). Usually save monthly to hard discs. -- Regards Eion MacDonald -- The Mailing List for the Devon & Cornwall LUG https://mailman.dclug.org.uk/listinfo/list FAQ: http://www.dcglug.org.uk/listfaq
