Storage of data has become a matter of (digital) life or death, and backing up your data before something goes wrong is more relevant now than ever before. You see, it's not just about making sure you have a copy of your CV or a couple pictures your friend sent you. With the advent of digital photography and its adoption by the masses, the chances are that all your new pics are in digital format, nicely stored on your hard drive, not to mention a few home movies made with your digital camcorder, where your kid utters their first words or shows their first missing teeth!
