"Computers, microwaves, televisions: all sorts of things were destroyed. Naturally there were no backups."

How do you backup a microwave?

'King Jeremy' on Wed, 08 Sep 2004 12:25:15 GMT, sez:

You back up a microwave by inserting a blank CD-R and letting the oven perform all programs for cooking, baking and defrosting that you think are important enough to keep safe in case something bad should happen.

A TV ofcourse is backuped on video, but you knew that already.

:) Wishing those nasty things on others Leon.

I actually use a Maxtor external Hard drive, one click on all my machines, setup different folder and profiles on laptop, desktop, server and work machine, then hit button when connected and backs up the stuff I want to keep.
