Hello JMD,

I'm curious about something that you said:

So when are you going to be comfortable with an encrypted back-up at another location? What happens when your hard-drive fails? Do you do back ups on a regular basis? Do you store the back ups off-site? What if your home were destroyed by some catastrophy? Fire? Tornado?

I can just imagine years ago as people debated the use of banks ... what? Store my money somewhere else?

I have a feeling that the solution is coming, and will be something that you *might* use ... full encryption done at your PC, storing a fully encrypted "blob" of data on a remote server ... maybe even at your bank! The bandwidth is coming that will allow this to be done quite nicely ...

What do you think? Comments?
