Sure, if you work from home. Using a car could always be part of a layered strategy. Perhaps you visit someplace irregularly and infrequently, so you use that as the equivalent of a 6-month offsite backup, while the disk in your car you rotate weekly. > ...I have several friends who would let me use their place. Right, plus there are at least a few commercial services that facilitate exchanging storage space with people you know. (Isn't Crashplan one?) Obviously the idea is a little bit silly compared to better alternatives, like using a proper cloud storage service, but sometimes an imperfect backup solution is better than no offsite backup. > Maybe John Dvorak should get out more?
