Yes, and another key is to ask yourself just how far you want to go.  I take
as many precautions as I can with basenji.com, and I back up frequently and
keep archival copies. (Good backup is a part of good security, IMHO).  What
I don't do is go to the extent that I spend more time protecting my stuff
than It would take to rebuild it.

Besides, all the work in the world didn't help us when Chan's purse got
stolen the day before yesterday.  Thankfully, we have credit protection,
because by the time we go ahold of the credit card folks there were already
charges hitting her VISA card.  Amazing.
