Nup! It would be just more pollution on my dev machine and they'll start
battling for supremacy. Actually I have Firefox on a text box, but I haven't

That seems like a strange statement. Surely it depends what you're
backing up.
Strange arguably, but no: who backs up the version control files?

Yeah I wouldn't use source control for backups.

All this talk of SSDs and HDDs failing has got me a little scared to
lose my data. I just have one main folder with everything in there on
my laptop and copy this thing to my USB drive as backup - I manually

How do you all do your backups?
Windows Home Server for me.
There's also a thread on cloud backup that you might want to read :)

You're using WHS (v1 or 2011 - ?), so what Cloud service do you use that
does allow you to backup a server? Most cheaper ones preclude server backups
(eg, iiNet's Vault is specific about that).
