Windows 7 - Upgrade/Clean Install

No wonder Vista's release was buggy as hell lol.

XP WAS a pretty solid upgrade, though. It was light years better than 98...

That's because XP used the NT kernel and 98 was a DOS shell.

Since we're on a backup jag here, how many who have claimed to have sufficient backup also have an offsite backup?

If you houze burnz down, you has no backupz.

Tape Drive = ftl

I use Shadow Protect on my computers. Image the entire drive after software, current SP, etc is installed...and is working properly lol. Then that image goes to my folk's house. Files get backed up incrementally on an external RAID.

I have a fire safe with a 2 hour rating, typical exposure time for a house fire is 30-60 minutes. If you live in an apartment/condo the fires are much bigger, so offsite is your best option.

I occasionally throw a copy of the important stuff in there, along with important documents like passports, SS cards etc. Wife stores her jewelery in there too after she had a couple of nice pieces go missing.

The online services such as mozy.com / carbonite.com are a good option for some.
