All of the online backup strategies are a joke. Due to bandwidth restrictions, it would take years just to make a backup of a typical user's hard drive, and they don't offer enough space (seriously).
The cheapest form of medium currently is hard drives, so my current backup system is to have 2 equally sized 500 GB drives and I use Acronis on a schedule to do a differential backup of one drive to the other once a week during early morning hours. If the differentials start to get too large, I'll do a new full backup and start doing differentials from there again. I haven't found any backup solution that is "totally" automatic in this regard, but since it only requires manual intervention once every several months it's not a huge deal.
A joke, huh? Have you heard of seeding, compression, or de-duplication?
Wikipedia is not a primary resource, and not a reliable secondary. I never had a singly class in college that allowed anything but a primary resource as a source. I would question the validity of any education that does, especially such an academically unreliable secondary source such as wikipedia.
It's good for looking things up for fun, that's it.

Encryption doesn't solve all problems. What about a DDOS attack? Think China could manage something quickly with tomorrow's 0-day attack with IE?

If you're using a Sonicwall, I'm not sure you're an IT "professional."

I hope the quality of their headphones is better than their website.

Thanks, Professor.
