How do you deal with the risk that the whole computer is destroyed 
(fire, earth quake, etc)? It is a good practice to keep backups 
separate from the main system (preferably in a different building, or 
even city), something that is difficult to manage with internal hard 
disk drives, and even with external hard drives. Do you have some kind 
of system to rotate drives, or do you backup to some remote system?
