Responses:

I have photos and documents backed up and in the firesafe and at work. I really don't have much that I care about protecting. - Amy Jan 25, 12:45
30 bucks gets you a firesafe good for fires up to 1550�F -- nm - decline Jan 25, 12:37 13
- 30 bucks? -- nm - amanda jones Jan 25, 12:41 1
  - sorry, 40 bucks -- (link) - decline Jan 25, 12:43
- I imagine that would be a fairly small safe though. (Also, fwiw, most "firesafes" are only rated for about an hour.) -- nm - Don Homer Jan 25, 12:39 7
  - i have one. it's really only big enough for some documents, passports, a few small items. - Andie Jan 25, 13:01
  - And thus convenient for thieves to carry off. -- nm - Ender Jan 25, 12:49
  - they have different sizes and different heat tollerances. We have one that holds 2 external HD's and a bunch of tapes easily -- nm - decline Jan 25, 12:40 2
    - Where do you buy yours at? (I've been wanting a nice one for some time, but needs to also be able to store a small amount of paperwork.) -- nm - Don Homer Jan 25, 12:41 1
      - Staples -- nm - decline Jan 25, 12:43
  - yeah, the ones I have seen are small. -- nm - loosilu Jan 25, 12:39 1
    - we're still talking firesafes right? -- nm - Beaker Jan 25, 12:40
- Good point. We have back-ups in there, as well. - Spawn Jan 25, 12:38
- *tries running USB cable into safe* - oblique Jan 25, 12:37 1
  - well, they probably aren't in a farraday cage ... (heh.) wifi + inductive power ... -- nm - Beryllium Jan 25, 12:45
Now he has to keep a local backup just to look like he's not giving in to ST -- nm - con_carne Jan 25, 12:34 1
- [which is what he already does] -- nm - Spawn Jan 25, 12:35
My house does not use propane. -- nm - Spawn Jan 25, 12:34 24
- oh, then it's fireproof. -- nm - loosilu Jan 25, 12:35 23
  - Which online service do you use, Loosi? -- nm - Trish Jan 25, 12:37 7
    - I shouldn't even be participating in this thread, my backup plan is not yet implemented at all ... heh -- nm - Beryllium Jan 25, 12:40 4
      - call the Embassy -- nm - Beaker Jan 25, 12:41
      - *weeps* -- nm - ST Jan 25, 12:41 2
        
        ST is handled, for the most part. -- nm - Beryllium Jan 25, 12:46 1
        
        Everyone's posts except loosi's? - Spawn Jan 25, 12:56
    - I talk a good talk but my offsite backup currently is my friend who until very recently was out of space - oblique Jan 25, 12:39 1
      - I use a friend's server. -- nm - loosilu Jan 25, 12:39
  - YOUR EXAMPLE IS FLAWED THEREFORE YOUR PREMISE IS MEANINGLESS!!1 -- nm - spewn si Jan 25, 12:36 7
    - heh. -- nm - loosilu Jan 25, 12:37
    - This really could be the next meme. - Spawn Jan 25, 12:37 5
      - has to be you, it's your most common tactic. -- nm - loosilu Jan 25, 12:37 4
        
        Most common? - Spawn Jan 25, 12:39 3
        
        true, I don't keep stats. -- nm - loosilu Jan 25, 12:43 2
        
        shocking -- nm - Spawn Jan 25, 12:47 1
        
        She's using Max's database to draw conclusions. -- nm - Will Hunting Jan 25, 12:49
  - *pats his thumb drive* - Spawn Jan 25, 12:36 6
    - thumb drives die all the time (trust me). and I put zero personal stuff on the work computer. -- nm - loosilu Jan 25, 12:37 5
      - Well see, I own the work computers, too. -- nm - Spawn Jan 25, 12:37 4
        
        so, you are actually using offsite backup. -- nm - loosilu Jan 25, 12:38 3
        
        But not online. -- nm - Spawn Jan 25, 12:39 2
        
        I have too much data to use online backup. It would get me billed by my ISP for the initial dump - Beryllium Jan 25, 12:41 1
        
        Yeah, I pull recent activity onto a thumb and move it. - Spawn Jan 25, 12:44
agreed. -- nm - loosilu Jan 25, 12:34
