What is your startup's backup policy?
patio11: I rely partially on backups and partially on wide distribution of key data.There are at least 5 accessible copies of my source code at any moment, for example: my laptop, my server (source control), my server's backup from yesterday, my server's backup from a week ago, and my per-release In Case Shit Happens tarball chilling on a Google server farm somewhere.Which means if my apartment burned down on the same day that Slicehost's colo facility got hit by a meteor, I would still have a copy left.Customer records?  Important but not as important as source code.  I have five redundant copies of every transaction: one at the payment processor, one at e-junkie.com, and 3 in my database and its backups.Email?  Much less important to me.  I pay Google to worry about it and assume they will be competent.Analytics data?  Nice to have, wouldn't cry too much if I lost it all tomorrow.  Mine gets backed up as a side effect of backing up the other stuff.  Google Analytics and Clicky also keep historical data for me, and I rely on them to make sure it doesn't vanish.None of this is encrypted (except to the extent my service providers do it -- Paypal certainly does, for example).  I don't store customer billing information, so the most sensitive data I have is a list of names.  (Source code?  Pfft.  Very little of my business value is in the source code.)
