Preventative measures
Following the untimely demise of my previous hard drive I have decided to create myself a RAID 1 (mirroring) array. On the one hand it seems like a waste of a perfectly good 80 GB of space (disk space is not that cheap you know), but on the other hand, I can at least feel a little bit less vulnerable with regards to something similar happening again.

Great work.
Now you just need to manage the risk of your entire computer being stolen, or your house burning down.. Or is that a residual risk? :)
Take care (Rimmer might be dead too, but he'll keep the deceased hard drive company).

Better store the second drive at someone elses house :)
Finding an IDE cable that long might be troublesome, though...

..don't forget about virii, trojans, user error, lightning strike, destruction of Earth to make way for an interplanetary bypass, etc.
