I have come into this thread late but I had an experince that will either relate to some of you or warn the others.
Up until recently I backed up everything to a series of CD's and kept these CD's seperately in the Bedroom. Last May (whilst we were on the Isle of Skye) we were burgled and we were virtually stripped out. They even stole my back up discs. Thankfully I had some older back up discs in the loft which contained about 85% of my photos so all was not lost. I did lose some excellent photos but I could have lost the lot.
Since then I have purchased an External Hard Drive and save everything to both Internal and External drives as I go along.
There is always someone in the house now but if ever we go out and leave the house empty the External Hard Drive goes with us.
