Hi Michael,
I simply use Dropbox for my backup. Then if I lose my computer, I can go to any other computer and access my data. Does require an Internet connection, but that usually isn’t a problem.
Thanks for the videos.
Chris

If following this tip make sure your backup hard drive has full disk encryption (I don’t know about macs but this is easy with Linux and can still remain bootable and usable), otherwise you are doubling the risk of someone getting access to your data.

Chris – I use Dropbox, too. It’s a great tip.
Mark, I use my disk on my mac unencrypted but later when I log in I mount an encrypted Truecrypt disk where I have all my docs and mail and browser profiles.
Thanks for your comments guys!
