I just rsync regularly between one home and one work computers and one or 
two old laptops? Now I am wondering if this is good enough or if I need
to be doing something else on top of that? Though its only my own data,
losing it would pose a big cost. Does this seem reasonably or do you think 
I should be adding some extra safe-gaurds?
