If they want to break into my rack which is locked, unscrew the server (if they know which one or take all 4) and carry that heavy ass thing up the stairs from the basement, go for it but it does have securedisk on it so they need a password hack on bios bootup. I did think about some of these things when I was working for myself especially since once has backups of my financials as well. But then it shouldn't be any worse than anyone else using home accounting software and someone taking that machine and having CC info and whatever they were entering for tax reasons. We are using JungleDisk but people around here just don't have the bandwidth and jungledisk can run all day long at some offices.

For small sites, static content, and the like, this is not a terrible strategy. For anything even remotely private or sensitive, a company or organization would be bordering on gross negligence to have a computer at someone's house as their primary backup solution. Nothing personal, but I wouldn't want to be the one to deal with the fallout after your house gets broken into and those computers go missing (e.g. now it's breach notification time akin to all those "lost laptop" stories you hear in the news). This can be mitigated somewhat by using strong encryption during transport and while the data is stored, though I would not want that responsibility even for a small company. Online backup tools like Carbonite, JungleDisk, and Tomahawk Backup (which can back up data, encrypted, to the "cloud" as well as a local disk at the same time) are so easy to use and inexpensive that it makes me wonder why more people don't use them. -Justin Scott ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Order the Adobe Coldfusion Anthology now! http://www.amazon.com/Adobe-Coldfusion-Anthology/dp/1430272155/?tag=houseoffusion Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/message.cfm/messageid:345357 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/unsubscribe.cfm
