Indeed, I misspoke Pro. Although we do use Pro at one of my clients.
My backup regiment is fairly anal, involving 30 days of backup for the C: drive which is strictly Windows, seven days of backup for the data on D: and Monthly backups of the apps folders on E:, all being stored on NAS's. There are internal backups that give me nightly backups of the data on local drives in the same computer and on other computers in the house (which are doing the same routines). And I have differential software running to record changes that can be rolled back on the data drive. And Carbonite gives me peace of mind.
AND I'VE HAD TO USE THEM ALL. A virus once got through that required going back 23 days to find a nice clean unadulturated C:\ image.
Way back in the dawn of the computer age, I probably wrote the single most brilliant short story ever. Pulitzer Prize winning material without a doubt. And I hit a button that was supposed to save everything. It was right beside the little one that meant delete on my Apple ][. I was never ever able to recover that single copy of the story that I deleted. And I was never able to recreate it. (So you can't prove it WASN'T the most brilliant short story ever [G]). But I did learn data is a very precious thing that needs protecting ... and backing up to the limits of your ability.
