Digital BW, The Print

I don't feel the critical issue is who has control. The real problem 
is that nothing is 100% reliable, not Raid5, not internet backup, not 
CD/DVDs…NOTHING. Lighting, Fire, Atmospheric pollutants, and 
bankruptcy can and will destroy anything. That is why you have to 
have at least two copies, in independent locations on media that is 
replaced every few years. If offsite company X files bankruptcy you 
have your hard drive copy. If buglers steal your PC with the 
redundant raid you have your Offsite internet backup or your CD/DVD's 
in a safe deposit box.

Cheers,
Mark
