>Here's to weekly or daily back-ups in future instead of monthly!! I backup about once or twice a week whenever I do some major work that I don't want to lose. As for e-mails: They are the kind of data that change most frequently. I have set Mail to keep mails on the server for a week. Thus if my backup is three days old when lightning strikes I can recover from backup and retrieve the latest mails from the server again without losing them.
