I think the first line of defence would be to try to reduce the risk of the disaster happening in the first place, I feel sure that any time spent reducing the risk would be much less than having to deal with the consequences if it did happen.

“Put your egges in different baskets”, would be my advice, online and off. Break up your essential goods and store them in different places and have two sets of backups stored in different locations; paper or electronic, it’s the same.

A lot of people have found recently, for example, that having most of your money in shares or property alone is a bad idea.

One poor chap committed suicide after 100,000 of his customers websites got erased because he didn’t react in time to a hack warning about the software used to set up the sites. And, because the were owner-run VPS sites, there were no backups for many of them.
