Can you elaborate a bit more about your backup process and infrastructure? Do you do manual backups and then manually relocate the backed-up drives to another location? Do you remotely connect and backup to another device that is owned by a trusted friend/family member? Or do you use cloud storage?

I was recently discussing this with a friend who was exploring cloud storage options for his backups, but I don't know how I feel about putting my data in the hands of a large company. I feel like their redundancy and security capabilities are better than I could accomplish on my own, but they also seem like a much larger target.

Thank you!

Any tips on where to find expected salary information for different companies? You can find some information on Glassdoor and occasionally you will see companies list a range in their job postings. It would suck to look for a new job and find out that you'd be taking a pay cut (not that pay is the only reason to take a new job).

Also, before anyone says it: I'm aware that cost of living can affect salary ranges for positions in different geographical areas.

I'm somewhat interested in the technical side of things. I've always wondered: how do new products get 'added' to CamelCamelCamel? Does it happen when a user searches for the product, or do you crawl Amazon's site?

Same question for product updates: how do you detect price changes? I'm assuming you either check periodically for known products or check whenever a product is searched.

Thanks!
