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.

Subject: What type of Insurance covers using your own custom developer
machine at work place?

 

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
