Do you back up data?
"IRREPLACEABLE DOCUMENTS"?

"To the person or anyone that knows the person that burglarized an
attorney's office downtown Friday October 16: If it is money you need,
I would be more than happy to pay to get my equipment back, or a
reward to know where it is. There are IRREPLACEABLE DOCUMENTS on the
hard drives-you can respond or anonymize through here, or contact
crimestoppers and leave information as to where the items can be found
without leaving your name."

How stupid do you have to be to TELL THE THIEVES that they have stolen
IRREPLACEABLE documents? Why not just write them a blank check? I back
up each of two computers to the other one (in different buildings set
up for different tasks) each week, and once a month I burn/update a CD
with all the current/new "irreplaceable" stuff which is stored in a
third location. Not exactly rocket science.

Another trick: Google Mail allows god-knows how much storage per account
(more than 7 Gigabytes). You can ZIP up your precious data and send the
results to yourself as a gmail attachment.
It's offsite and available from anywhere.
If seven gigs isn't enough, get multiple gmail accounts.

I don't know if my clients would like their personal and financial
information stored on a Google-based website.

I understand their concern. One alternative is a safe and burglar alarms and
other difficulties to thwart thieves. That's what the Pharaohs who built the
pyramids thought. Now the pyramids were built during the 2nd and 3rd
Egyptian dynasties (out of 30-odd). Subsequent Pharaohs saw, that while the
pyramids were massive and difficult to crack, the thieves knew where the
goodies were! These later Pharaohs learned the lesson and HID their tombs,
some of which, 2,000 years later are STILL hidden.
I suggest an encryped, compressed file, called 'cat-pictures.zip, that's an
attachment to email for pussywillow37@gmail.com would be hard to find.
