Here’s the scoop. Everyone should be backing up their computer data regularly. It’s simply foolish not to. I was foolish for a very long time, but no more! My personal backup strategy is as follows: weekly backup to an external firewire drive; monthly backups of digital photos and movies to DVD (this in addition to the weekly external firewire backups); and daily backups to a GMail account. What, you say? Backup to GMail? Correct, I backup to a GMail account with a little application called “gDisk.” This excellent little application allows me to upload specific files to the GMail account of my choosing. Once the files are uploaded, I can access them anywhere I can access GMail.
