  <description>&lt;p&gt;Is your data ready for a complete disaster? We discuss why you should care  about backing up your data and how to easily get started. No matter if it is just a few photos, your entire business documentation, or the most important source code in the world you have to have ways of backing up and restoring data no matter where you are in the world. Frank and James break down some horror stories from their personal lives and how they are now prepping for disaster.&lt;/p&gt;
