Wowee! Good for you, Dannyboy.
What's with the attitude?
Well, SEE, it's good to know that you have a backup strategy. Your
assumption is that we don't? Wow. Could you possibly re-word that
so it sounds less of an attack?
No, not really. You have some good points to make in htis venue.
This isn't one of them and my perspective on that is that you are,
at best, providing poor guidance, at worst, leading folks down the
road to data loss (been there, done that, got the 1500 dollar credit
card charge from DriveSavers because my last backup was 2 weeks
old). You have your pet rock and you are polishing it.

Bottom line: The subject of this message is "How to make a SOLID Mac
backup plan" (emphasis mine). Dropping a copy at a buddy's house
every so often is not a SOLID backup plan (read up on latency).
So you feel that Cloud Services MUST be part of a good backup
strategy and that I'm wrongo simply because I don't feel that way, as
I happen to value basic data security?
I disagreed with the article on that ONE point. That's all. And now
you're off on latency... We haven't really discussed "latency" in
this thread because there have been other threads on the LEM lists
where we strongly recommended rotating off-site backups nightly,
weekly, monthly -- depending on one's personal or business needs.
Why isn't that good enough? Why is your advocacy of cloud services
superior?
