Hi Arjang,
I can't answer your question on insurance, but I can't help to think that you're potentially opening yourself up to legal issues. Even with checking things in to an external machine you're still keeping source on your personal machine - even deleting the files fastidiously would leave temporary and/or "undeletable" files behind. I would suggest that you employ something like TrueCrypt to do whole drive encryption (WDE) on your machine. I do that with mine and I know that it really doesn't matter if my machine goes missing. The harddrive just appears to be random garbage without my TrueCrypt password. If you do WDE you might find that you can happily leave the source on the machine without any risk. Just a thought. Cheers. James.

Anyone having to use their own (custom build) developer machines for work know what type of insurance would be enough to cover the physical machine? The machine is personal property, but the work carried on it is for work. Checking out the code and checking it back in, never keeping anything that belongs to work on it. There is a separate machine that belongs to work that keeps everything on it. So at worst if the machine disappears it would be only the physical property and nothing intellectual. Thanks for ideas and recommendation Regards Arjang
