Dave requested this one. We don't know why, but Away's backup goalie is kept in Away's entrance, not on their bench. As Dave says: "We got plenty of room for our guy. Just not their guy. We don't want 'im up there anyway."
The barstool they put him on had a spinny top. He sort of spun from side to side for the whole game. Why someone didn't bring him some comics or something, I don't know.
1. Once a week (or so) I download my whole CiteULike library as a BibteX file onto my computer.
2. Then back this up into a Subversion repository. [This is a version control back up system which means I can recover any version, and it is stored on another server further reducing risk of loss]
3. The PDFs stored in the Mendeley folders are backed up everytime I run my TimeMachine back up. This is a Mac OS back up system that backs up incremental changes onto a back up hard disk. There are similar systems for other operating systems.
The back up regime means that should CUL or Mendeley or both become unavailable or unusable I have both a full copy of my reference library with all my notes and keywords in a BibteX file, and a full set of PDFs in nicely labelled folders so I can find them. So many applications accept BibteX files there would be no trouble finding another to import my library to.
Should my computer fail as well there are backups of all the PDFs in the TimeMachine and my BibteX library can be retrieved from the Subversion repository.
Would you trust this to backup your data? The previous drive died in the nice yet non-ventilated MyBook enclosure so I decided to strip it. Looks nasty though.
