What precautions have you taken?

Many times ... Not on the 'cloud' because I don't like it :) It's essential to back up.

Adrian, you are very meticulous in your work. Wow, storing your work on 4 hard drives! Gee, I am quite embarrassed to say that I only save it on my desktop hard drive & in my email inbox.

No, you're not paranoid. You are merely meticulous and you take great care of your work. After all, you've invested much time and effort into your writings, thus you need to safeguard them by backing them up properly.

Like I said in my earlier post, I am pretty lazy and that's why I only save my work in two places. :-D
