Mine gets backed up on the fly

Mine gets backed up on the portable disc :D
I'm being serious AA.

4TB of storage, configured in RAID 5, Hot swap, all the other crap.....and that is backed up with another 4TB array doing exactly the same.

I can afford to lose 4 hard drives simultaneously (which, let's face it..will NEVER happen), and still not lose 1 bit of data should that scenario occur.

My PCs and lappys never contain only copies of data, and the main server backs up to tape every night.

Vital stuff (mainly project based work and programming stuff) is backed up more regular to another server.

OOF, although hardly vital, has a fairly rigourous backup strategy as well.

Norton Ghost ..great data saver program got me out o' the dodo many times .....

Regarding OE, Phil you just need to create a new Storefolder on a different path as by Default it hides away  cant locate it easily need to have show hidden files switched on..Example path to my Outlook Express is as simple as it gets I just created a folder on a spare drive....  F:\My Outlook Express... everythings in there mate, so even if your Op system goes ga ga you dont lose all the emails you received/sent  etc... :y
