Do you save any documents exclusively on the Web?

This is especially relevant to those who use any form of collaborative,
Web-based documentation. Maybe you've saved your own changes locally,
but what about everyone else's changes?

Yes, Google Docs and T-Mobile's Sidekick are two different animals. I
hope security is better at Google, but "hope" isn't a solid part of risk
management.

(For extra Schadenfreude, the data services that crashed are run by a
Microsoft subsidiary called... wait for it... "Danger.")

What's that you say? You backed up your T-Mobile Sidekick data to your
local iMac folders? Well, good on ya -- just don't upgrade to Snow
Leopard, cause...

(My favorite quote from the new article: "Add my parents to the list of
people waxed by this bug. Brand new iMac, less than one month old,
EVERYTHING lost. Just as I convinced them to go Mac after years of
trying.")

What is this, National Data Loss Week?

Single-user Web-based docs can be backed up to a local HD backup, thumb
drive, or other medium. But collaborative Web-based docs? Hmmm... How
exactly do you save everyone else's changes?
