I am in vacation and I just got a phone call that my home has been 
burgled. My wifes PC is gone, with lots of data practically impossible 
to restore. But, data are saved with BackupPC ...

Lessons learned:
(1) My principal reason for installing BackupPC had been protection 
against data garbled due to user mistakes and destruction of data by 
system/disk crashes - this kind of incident needs to be added high-up in 
the list of motivations for investing into a backup infrastructure.

(2) I had thought that maintaining two sets of data - the original data 
and the data on the backup server - provides sufficient security. It is 
not, I was fortunate that the burglar did not find the backup server (I 
am running BackupPC on a small home LAN). I urgently need to extend my 
security by periodically saving the backup data to something that is 
kept at a safe place (I will probably buy an external disk).
