I had a "wake up call" this week. Thought my hard drive had crashed, but luckily it was just a connector that had worked loose.... phew

I thought you were going to give me all of your money, then I find you are talking about backups. :-(

Thankfully I make nightly backups to another HD device, bi-weekly backups to DVD and weekly backups to DAT tape.

All thanks to Genie Backup Manager Pro.  It's safe to say that I love it as much as I hate it. ;-)
