<DIV>Hmm.</DIV>
<DIV>You could back it up local (this is HTML) so I am
assuming you are using Outlook?</DIV>
<DIV>If so, then you can create *.PST folders and back them
up once a week with different</DIV>
<DIV>names on a CD burner (or rewritable) all the while
keeping a working copy.</DIV>
<DIV>CD-ROM is VERY stable and it's hard to corrupt. 
You could then have an archive of</DIV>
<DIV>Email for years without using up too much room. 
Tons of utilities that on your PC that</DIV>
<DIV>would do this for you.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>While a Zip drive could be susceptible
to corruption, it serves as a good
alternative.</DIV>
<DIV>If you are NOT using Outlook - then your Email service
is using some sort of file to keep</DIV>
<DIV>all this data live. Same reasoning
applies.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>It also depends on how you are handling you Email - if
you keep it on the server only</DIV>
<DIV>or local???</DIV>
<DIV>If I understood your architecture and services, I could
come up with a cost effective</DIV>
<DIV>way of backing up critical data, while still have your
ISP provide you with what you</DIV>
<DIV>need.</DIV>
<DIV>It may be as simple as buying an external drive and
compressing that data to CD</DIV>
<DIV>every period (day, week, month) - that way if you ever
had corruption, you can ALWAYS</DIV>
<DIV>go back to a recent copy with little loss.  Also,
if you EVER, come up with a data saving</DIV>
<DIV>solution (considered warehousing) - you have to take it
off site (people always forget that).</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>They take the time to back up their most critical data
(in case of emergencies) but leave</DIV>
<DIV>it on site.  A fire comes by and there goes all
their records!</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Something to consider:~)</DIV>

 PM To: Lee, Trever Subject: RE: Tempest U/R Arcade
 game </DIV>Hmm, good point. How can I cover my email loss
 against protecting the site from hackers? I think the password I choose is
 pretty good (letters and other stuff-not a word). There is often about two to
 three megs of emails sitting on my server as a backup. Any
 suggestions? John :-#)# At 04:33 PM 02/03/2001, you wrote:

 <DD>About the server, this is on our flippers site, and I have it set to
 erase after three days incase of email crashes on my notebook computer.

 <DD>Well, if you want to send a bank draft they are OK, as long as
 they are cashable outside of the USA. That's the 'International'
 bit, some money orders can't be. The Post Office for example has
 both domestic and International Money Orders and our banks here
 won't accept the domestic version. 
 <DD>That's often why folks just use a credit card...did we ever work
 out the freight part of this transaction???

 <DD>U/R means UpRight. Sorry for being cryptic. Are you
 near San Francisco? Thanks for the file info, I'll check
 them all out. I've tried a couple but they don't find the
 temp. 
 <DD>Shipping and customs looks like it is $200US, boxing
 up is $40US and the game is $1295US. Total $1535US. VISA,
 M/C, AMEX or International Money Order. Non-refundable
