A hyper-paranoid +1 ;).

There's a Wiki about what to consider for the most safe backup:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Finagle%27s_law

I'm not a Buddhist, I disagree with many Buddhistic views, but IIRC the
Buddhistic ideology regarding "fugacity" isn't completely wrong ;),
resp. AFAIR it's absolutely correct.

However, it can't harm to do what's possible, as long as it won't cost
much money and/or time, aka inappropriate effort.

We lose and we win. Anybody on this list in the age of > 40 still in
partnership with the non-platonic friend loved in the age of 14 ;)? If
not, nevertheless survived ;)?
