Very true, but what do you do if you cannot log in to the off-site system to get to your backup files? This, of course, is considering that you can get your computer started and get to the internet in spite of all the damage caused by Mother Nature and her offspring (earthquakes, floods, fires, landslides, etc). In other words, make a back-up, put it in a safe and accessible location, have a portable generator for power, and have a wireless internet access. And, we all know that this equipment is affordable to every one of us, right? Please disregard my apparent sarcasm, but go with the most affordable system that you can get and DO MAKE A BACKUP REGULARLY!!!!!!!
