Mitch I am interested in the fire proof cabinet, how do you keep it cool enough for the drive? I have 4 externals and without centeral air have to run a AC in my office to keep everything cool, (including myself). I back everything up on a second computer that I turn on every 3 days, virus check and back up. I also have 2 back up hard drives in main computer and online backup. One loss taught me to backup and backup (ok so I a obsessive). Bonner and Bannock are hanging in this month while I work on other things.

I should have clarified ... I have some four drawer filing cabinets that are fireproof. I store a backup hard drive there when not in use. I also keep a backup in a separate building in case one burns. It sounds like you are doing a great job with backup copies. Better safe than sorry as you know.

Boundary County here, not much done. I am in AZ for a month, but still working on stuff from here. We have a young man in Boundary County that teaches web pages, and some of us are going to take some lessons, so we can keep current on updating the site. It is something I have been wanting to do for a long time, and don't want to overwhelm Mags. I have a new back up drive for my computer, that I keep everything on, after almost losing 1075 obits. Fortunately, my computer guru, got them back, but made me go get the backup drive <smart man>. Could not open the obits that are listed. Don't want to retype 1075 obits for submission, so we are working on the .pps files. Do I have that right? Thanks for everyone out there that is doing the great job, we will try to catch up soon.
