Regardless of any backup solution... my stuff is usually in 3 different
places:

    - my locale dev machine
    - CVS repository on my other machine
    - live deployment

Now the database is a different matter. But Richard has mentioned he's
missing CSS files. Even without a distinct CVS machine, his stuff could
have been in 2 different places.

Cheers,
Rob.
