Having a backup on USB drive is great, but if the equipment get stolen or there's a fire (or other unfortunate event), you also lose your backup. You could have 2 USB drives with one constantly outside the office, but it's more costly.

I do a local backup on a USB drive, but I also use Mozy (www.mozy.com) to keep another set of backup on the web. Mozy is free for up to 2GB of backup space.

>Have been looking at Western Digital passport drives and the bundled WDSYNC software for a client. The software works ok but it treats the Pc drive as the master drive when it syncs with the USB drive. This meeans that if you delete a file from the PC the next time you sync it is deleted from the USB drive - not what you would usually want!
