I share your concern for back-ups and I appreciate where Tom is coming from. I recently took Schwab up on their offer to send me nothing but electronic confirmations. I love it except it gives me concern about disaster recovery. My life is on my PC... an e bill or two (more coming I hope) Quicken transactions, trade confirmations, tax filings to name the more important stuff. It gives me the shivers every time I get that fateful blue screen with a general default error(about every other day). I use a backup procedure similar to the one you practice, but that little bug in my head is always whispering the question, what if there is a fire?!! In that case I guess I am no worse off than if I had paper records, but my life is driven by information much more so than in my earlier years. The possibility scares the hell out of me.

So Tom, I hear you loud and clear when you talk about fool proof archiving. I came across a interim solution the other day that gives me some piece of mind. @backup.com. It's a bit kludgey for what we are ultimately looking for, but it is moving in the right direction. backup.com A little pricey as well at $100 per year for 100mb. The set-up is easy and there is a 30 day trial.
