My answer is simple: never rely on proprietary software. I don't use Lifeblog, or any other "digital life management" solutions. (...) As a backup solution, I use a three-way synchronization solution with Unison - one replica on my laptop, one on my desktop and one in a remote server. (...) It's a tradeoff: whether you want a better experience now, or whether you want longevity of your data. I'm opting for longevity on the stuff that is important. (...)"

(...) Based on a synthesis of the mtDNA and Y chromosome evidence with archaeology, climatology and fossil study, Stephen Oppenheimer has tracked the routes and timing of migration, placing it in context with ancient rock art around the world.

"(...) led me to export all my 30.000 items out of Lifeblog (...) a digital archive is vulnerable, I have made decent back-up's of my Lifeblog, have some in London, some in Finland on several HD's etc. still I feel extremely fragile. (...) I am sure most people are worse prepared than I am, the funny thing is I do not think people think about it until the hard disk crashes. (...)"

Which combination of reliable, future-proof software and physically distributed storage can put our minds at rest?
