Great PSA for everyone Greg. I did a bit of thinking about the same topic last fall and set up a Dropbox account for all of our racing information to be backed up on. Racepak logs, Fuel Injection tune files, CrewChief Data, and everything else on our racing laptop. This way no matter where I am or what happens to our laptop, I can always pull all of our data right from "the cloud" onto a PC in a hurry and get us back in action. And it helps when I'm at home during the week and decide I want to look at some data files, but the racing laptop is in our race shop - now I can just pull it all right from that Dropbox on ANY computer.

Obviously this does require internet connection to the PC/laptop in use, and we do always have that at the track now days. But if you had no internet connection - I would highly suggest a flashdrive approach as well.
