I've had my bacon saved (obfood? lol) more times than I can recall
because I utilize online backups now. Especially with banking and
professional documents I can't afford to lose.
It is a HUGE weight off my mind. The backups take place pretty much on
their own so it doesn't require any effort on my part. <whew!>
