A surprise to me: One-third of consumers still aren’t backing up their digital media, according to a recent study by market research firm Parks Associates ("Managing the Digital Home: Installation and Support Services.") In his May 7 blog, Parks analyst Kurt Scherf says most people are burning backups to CDs and DVDs—which by the way, aren’t safe from theft or fire. Maybe it’s overkill, but I back up to an online service, a thumb drive, and to my free Gmail backup service (e-mail myself important files.)
