I don't know if that makes it any safer. They are still online... I think the chance of your VPS being hacked are larger than those of your home computer being stolen.

It's not about the loss of the books I'm talking about; it's about what others could do with them... putting them up for download, for example.

What I despise is a 'backup' for which you need to have the original backup program installed to read and recover it. That's useless. A good backup should not put the files into a proprietary backup format.
Couldn't agree more on all counts.

Happily, hardlinked file copies make an excellent, open, future-proof backup.
