No doubt. But, this is just personal data. So, so catastrophic thing like that is not very likely. If that does happen I think I will have more trouble than worrying about not being able to recover some ebooks.
And, as I say, all my ebooks ARE backed up online... being at the original sources web site.
As I say, I do have it in my plans. But, I just keep putting it off. Jungledisk just announced the new version supports their own storage cloud in addition to Amazon... so that may be the straw that gets me moving. Also, the $.15/gb per month is the same but they have no transfer fees.
Hmm....
But yes, no backup at all is pretty much not a good idea. Probably a Mozy account is a good bet for most people that want to set/forget for $50 a year.
