Plus, it's way more likely that I'll lose an unencrypted jump drive than that their earthquake protected datacenters will completely go down. If anyone's interested in one of their free accounts, use my referral link and we'll both get an extra 1/4 GB free. https://mozy.com/?code=P2GWBL I’m a huge fan of Mozy because they keep my files encrypted.

Way to get the conversation started :) We definitely like to take things as deep as we can here as you've noticed. We plan to do it quite a bit with your blog posts. Not always like this one did but to talk about things that complement some of your food storage posts.... you'll see :) @Jodi

Jayce and I discussed whether to include encryption in this post and decided that it really deserved its own writeup. We should be publishing that soon. Thanks for stopping by! @JeffBarr

On Newegg they have a <a href="http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820148153" rel="nofollow">Crucial 2GB drive</a> for ~5 bucks, free shipping.
