Speaking of Gmail, if you use Outlook as many do, especially at work...

Sure, Outlook has got an archive feature and even a backup plugin for your personal folders (Outlook 2003/2002). But this obviously wouldn’t work if that software itself was the one that crashed, or if your computer’s hard disk bit the dust.
