I had a 2 second period where I might have had a mini heart attack.  I needed to get into gmail and it kept coming up with an error.  My life is pretty much invested in google. I keep everything important there because it’s so easy to access.  It got me thinking, should I be backing up the information I keep on Google?

That might be the dumbest question I’ve ever asked.  The answer is an obvious yes.  So the next logical question is how do I got about doing this?

I’m not the most organized person.  I have things all over the place.  I’m even having a hard time with external hard drive and organizing that.  That’s a little bit of a lie since the external hard drive pretty much organizes itself.  Though I do have a hard time accepting that.  I digress.

So if you back up your Google Docs, gmail and whatever else, what do you use? I saw an article about using Thunderbird to backup gmail.  Thoughts?  If you don’t, do you think it’s necessary?
