And the value of your data becomes even more important when you realize what it would take to replace all of those irreplaceable files.

How often does the data on your notebook PC get backed-up? While data security and protection is important, who caries around the volume of equipment necessary to perform regular backups? Even if you did purchase the hundreds of dollars worth of equipment and were willing to haul it around, where would you securely store the backups and how would you ever find the time to perform them?
