Bert,
No server here, just simple P2P.
The full system backup is only my last option if everything else fails. ALL of my critical data is backed up daily, local in office to another computer, local off site with a drive I carry home, and in the cloud using JungleDisk(that I learned about from you). I have 5 rotating drives (one for each day)that I carry offsite, each has backups from 3 weeks. So, locally I can go back to individual days from 3 weeks, and then the full system monthly. I have been paying attention, and have redundancy. But, for me, and my P2P setup, it would be easier to buy a new computer and start fresh if mine fails; this is my thinking, rather than restore the full system which will have accumulated some crud.
I feel relatively safe, but I am reading all of these postings to rethink my backups and see if I need to modify my scheme. Thanks for your thoughts.
How often have you had to go to your backups to retrieve a lost file?
