Re: [wlug] Backups are your friend.

I'd also like to ask the LUG about pendrives. I back up primarily to a 1 GB Legend USB pendrive, which is convenient for obvious reasons. Does anyone have any horror stories about pendrives dying? I also back up to a laptop on my network (maybe I'm a bit paranoid), but I like being able to take my backup with me wherever I go. You know, in case I come home and find the house on fire...

I've not heard of any horror stories. Of course, pen drives are easy to lose / stand on / etc, so you shouldn't rely on them as your only method of backup. But as another backup, along with backing up to your lan, it is a good solution.
