I've just had a bit of a shock - my laptop computer is f***ed and I've lost everything.
Fortunately, I've backed up my photos and videos, and *most* but not all of my iTunes library to a hard disk elsewhere.
Lucky me. But the problem with backing up stuff to this hard drive is that it is reliant on me manually backing my photos/music/videos/work documents/financial documents and other stuff as and when I see fit.
I think I'm going to write a little application that does it all for me, and runs every other day automatically at night, or something like that. But before I do, I wondered whether anyone could simply recommend something that does this off the shelf? I don't like the idea of backing up stuff to an on-line firm both because of the monthly cost and the fact that if they go bust you could be screwed.
But maybe I'm missing something. What do you do?
