Brilliant !
If that were on a T-shirt I'd buy one.
I had a good laugh out of that, thank you sir.

Offsite Backups...

... that's the solution.

Almost as good

You should take a look at the data recovery people who were called in to rescue data from hard drives from the 9/11 disaster area.

Try chipping off a few pounds of melted concrete off a hard drive first...

few days back my friend's Balckberry survived fall on hard street from roof of house's second story

few days back my friend's Balckberry survived fall on hard street from roof of house's second story it was in his shirt front pocket while leaning over, its screen is shattered and and casing etc but still is recieving calls. My own P900 survived bouncing all stairs steps of a floor. i once threw my p900in at sofa in anger, it bounced all way upto roof and came down and survived.

Rui is right at age 29, i last "wept" some 4yrs back because my hdd slipped from my hand pn hard floor and it was not dtecting, on little shaking i could sense the head has gone free, it was seagate 40gb,i tried later in evening and was detected, moved all data to OS drive. The ttoal loss i had was a seagate 20gb on which i was authoring the most ambitious xp tweaking guide (trust me i know more than on internet) som ehiden powers made my hdd fail and since then i.e. 4yrs i couldnt put time agin for this project. i run 1.2-TB at home all WesternDigital.

Backups?

Real men don't do backups...

... but they cry a lot.
