OT: How Often Do You Back Up Your Files

[Atrocities]

I try and back up my files now at least once a month. I found after loosing many things do to HP and AMD hick ups, that backing up my data is the best thing I can do.

Last year when I made the Ferengi and then the HP died, and like an idiot, I sent it in to be fixed, and got a replacement PC without my old HD I discovered that regular back ups are gold.

Then when CK lost his HD and with it all of his STm work, the importance of back ups gained new appreciation.

The problem that worries me about back up is what do you do with them? For example, everytime I go on a trip, I back up my important files and take the disk along with me. This way if there is a fire at the house, theft, or other I will have my important documents on disk.

What I am thinking about doing is buying one of those fire proof safes and puting my back up disks in that. Do any of you know if those Sentry safes are good safes or not?
