I have some items that I would not like to lose - photographs of my son.
These are copied to multiple machines, in different houses. They are uploaded to 2 different providers (facebook (natch) and dropbox.)
I also create rars with par2 redundancy data and burn them to good quality CDs which are stored in tyvek sleeves in a firesafe.
That's perhaps a bit over the top, but I really don't want to lose those photos.
Passwords and serial numbers are printed out and kept in the firesafe. That's perhaps a bit insecure, and I need to arrange an "in case of death" list.
Everything else used to be rsynced to a different machine in the same house, but now it's time machined.
A firesafe is a great idea, and I might follow your example. Do you know if the temperature inside the firesafe remains low enough so that things like CDs and hard drives don't get corrupt? I know that they work for things like papers, but are they deemed safe enough for electronics?
