Thanks for the information.

By the way, my current backup strategy is geared for the loss of a
hard disk, God forbid, or for the loss of the computer. But I don't do
distributed backups, so it's not really geared for the loss of an
apartment (God forbid). How do you all do distributed backps of your
home machines? Where do you put extra CDs of the backups?
