Go on let’s have em, what laptops are you all running and do you recommend for SP 2013 development ? The MBP a contender (surely not)!… Is anyone surviving on 16gb ?
UPDATE! Can you also add your laptop and configuration to this list : (User “Add to List”). http://list.ly/list/73V-sharepoint-2013-laptops. If someone has the same one, just vote it up.
I’ve been using CrashPlan for a few years now. I back up to two local external drives and CrashPlan’s cloud daily. I’ve had to rebuild my machine and my wife’s once each, and it was as painless as it could be pulling files from the backups.
I highly recommend CrashPlan. You can access the backups anytime, anywhere, and the backup looks just like your file system. Grabbing a few files is easy, much like you might do from Dropbox.

Wow … what a lot of responses!
