last night in the back of a cab but by some miracle it turned up.
Had half an hour of panic that I don't want to have again. I'm carrying fairly confidential info on there about clients and a couple of databases which would have been very very bad to lose. The clients would have been far from happy
What does anyone else do? Eg
- Some software to protect the hard drive? Which software? Would I need to reinstall everything?
- Only carry database backups that client expressly agreed in writing to taking, acknowledging the risk of losing it
- Take my own steps to hash some of the data in these databases - maybe in consultation with client
- Some sort of insurance to cover the loss (and the resulting lost business?)
- Not ever be drunk in charge of a laptop (not really practical and not guaranteed)
- Or just not worry about it until it happens
thanks
