Keeping maintenance records

[Square Peg]

What other backup strategy offers the same combination of protection, ease of use, and cost?

I work in the IT biz managing mission critical systems and data. That carries over to my home environment where I have more than one UPS and more than one backup generator. That online service would save neither time nor money.

Yeah, and you believe that some nut in NY dug up some golden plates buried by early inhabitants of this continent that came from the Middle East despite conclusive DNA evidence that early Americans came across the Bering Strait. This same nut then had a "revelation" that allowed him to take multiple wives. You believe that God is punishing black-skinned people because of sins they committed in the pre-existence before this world was even created and that's why the Mormon church denied them the right to hold the priesthood until another convenient "revelation" lifted the priesthood ban but curiously did not lighten their skin. You believe in marriage vows that included pledges of submission by the women to their husbands on penalty of death until recently when they were changed. Was that another "relevation"? You believe that everyone who was ever born must be baptized on this earth by proxy and that's why the Church does genealogy, yet there is no explanation for how you are ever going to get the names of all of the people for whom there are no records.

So, I plan to put a lot of weight in what you think about anything.

Liar.

[Top Spin]

Are you kidding? You can do multiple UPS and multiple backup "generators" for $50/year? You are in the wrong business. You should be selling those systems. What a joke.

All that aside, 99.99% of home users will not install and could not maintain such a system. You just made my point. Thanks.

[Pete C.]

The only point is on your head. UPSes and generators are in no way required for the backup methods I specified, and neither method I specified costs $50/yr. My UPSes and generators keep my system

*operational* during power outages, and have nothing to do with data backup.

Gee. I was talking about a toaster receipt.

Well, then you can't follow a thread, so a discussion is impossible.
