Yes, yesterday was the right time to backup your important files!! I have a client whose backup drive just failed,
let that be an alarm call to anyone reading who hasn't backed up recently -- AND to those who haven't *tested* their backups,
and/or *only* have one backup. Fortunately the client has multiple backup disks and my situation is not fatal :)
Burn a data DVD, take it offsite. Buy an extra external hard drive (or two!), what is the value of not losing your data?
Remember, storage is cheap!! I remember when hard drives were priced in dollars per *megabyte*, and I'm fairly young ;)
cheerio,

I am thinking that Debian is looking a lot nicer. :)
