How is team-member-1 doing?

Instead of DVD-Rs, I now use write-protected USB flash drives (Netac U335 or similar) with their write protect switches melted with a soldering iron. I know this doesn't protect about hardware failure, but most data loss actally gets caused by user actions or software bugs. Store several of them at different locations to protect from other threats.

We are considering using S4 (http://www.supersimplestorageservice.com/), it's probably the best place to store your important data.

No, too expensive and proprietary. I can't understand why people pay for these tools when you can build the same thing using open source technologies?

Here's a script I use at home for this:

  #!/bin/bash
  tar -cf - ~/Documents/ > /dev/null

Back in the dark ages (1980s or so), a professor at my uni managed to get a speaking slot for his presentation on "write-only memory". Good times.
