Yeah, there's that. Laptops are a problem to keep backup up. I think the best solution is not to have much on them. If all you have is real data, you can backup to floppy. There isn't 2 megs of real data on my laptop most of the time. I leave a copy of mail on a server, and back up the base configuration, so the only thing I have to worry about is whatever I am working on. That fits handly on a floppy, or I can copy it some other machine the next time I am on a network. A couple of megs doesn't take that long to move over even a failrlyh slow modem.
