Chapter 10. Store an Extra Backup Offsite

No matter how many backups you have or how often you update them, they do you no good if they disappear along with your computer—as they likely will in the case of theft, fire, or any other serious disaster. I urge everyone to take the precautionary step of keeping a second copy of their backups safely away from their computer—preferably in another building altogether. You can do this with a second hard drive, with an Internet backup service, or with either of two services that let you use Time Machine remotely.
