When I built my tower computer about a decade ago, I phoned in the order to one of the familiar parts places. To verify my credit card info, the guy started asking me questions about my personal property, etc. He knew the type of vehicle, year, even the color of it, as well as other information about me. That woke me up.

While "the cloud" is supposed to be secure, I have my doubts. The only thing I would consider committing to the cloud would possibly be encrypted off-site backup data, but for now, my RAID file server serves that purpose quite nicely, although it does not offer me off-site backup storage in case of a major disaster. I can write my backup data periodically to DVDs and keep them at a different location should I deem that necessary. I do not have anything that is classified, so am most concerned about data recovery in case a disaster totally destroys the drives on my file server. 73, Don W3FPR On 6/22/2013 11:47 PM, Phil Kane wrote: > Our servers are our property and under our control.
