[AccessD] Back Up Your Backup

I use Carbomite backup on my laptop for critical files.  My phone syncs
with my laptop and the phone files are also backedup to carbomite.
That's before any imaging or other physical backups.  Dear Ann Landers,
am I paranoid?? LOL

Hi Rocky

The subject line should rather be: Don't rely on a single backup system.

For critical data this is simple. One backup system only introduces a
single point of failure. Thus, we recommend clients to have three, at
least two, independent backup systems:

1. A local backup. Previously that would be a tape backup. Today
typically a harddisk, internal or external.
2. Another local backup where the media frequently is brought off-site,
typically an external harddisk brought to some other location with fast
access.
3. A remote backup.

This is so cheap to establish that every serious business should run
this way. Still - and that is very strange to me - only very few clients
run this way.
