This site is an excellent way to find out if you've covered all your bases in your backup protocol:

Note: the website is an extended advertisement for a piece of backup software, and the user account was created 3 minutes before the comment was posted.
Yeah, that's true. But then do you really think those guys are spamming HN at 8 p.m.?

I wish I had said, if you ignore the advertising, it's a great resource. If you apply it to proposed backup solutions, it's an effective means to find out if they are viable.

I said it for you, since a reader would probably be interested in that piece of information. I apologise for the cynical comment about the account being 3 minutes old, as that is ad hominem and being new to HN shouldn't come into it. Welcome to HN.
Oh it's okay. Thanks for pointing it out. Truth is I lost my password and I hadn't given them my email, so I just made a new account. (I'm not upset about this.)
