I'm not sure an insurance company would agree. The insurer could potentially say that since you have all the content backed up, you didn't lose your music. Therefore, there wouldn't be any loss to compensate you for. In addition, having the backup files doesn't demonstrate that you actually owned the CDs to begin with. (You could have illegally downloaded FLACs from file sharing sites, or you could have borrowed the discs from friends to rip them, etc.)
More typically, for an insurance claim, you want proof of purchase (receipts) that show you paid for the items and how much they were worth. A better solution as far as insurance is concerned might be to scan all your CD receipts, and keep those scans on the backup drive in the safe deposit box. -- TiredLegs ------------------------------------------------------------------------ TiredLegs's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=6201 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=80953 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
