Back Up Your NaNoWriMo!

Yeah yeah, you use some fancy mirror drive cooled with liquid helium, connected to a fiber optic network to an offshore data storage facility in a bunker deep under the Atlantic.

Take a moment to email your novella and your outline to yourself. It can't hurt, and it might help.

No, I haven't lost any data - just being cautious.

  1. Hmmm....I wonder if you are talking about someone in particular here or just being general...(by the way, it is a RAID array of drives, encrypted with a 512-bit encryption (Serpent, then Twofish, then AES) that is mounted as a single drive with ~1.3 Terabytes of data available. Even if the evil OS crashes and burns, I could mount the array just fine from a Live Disc. Just saying.)
