Google has gained my trust and all my data. I am doing almost all of my computing in the cloud. Google Reader, Calender, Email, Docs and Notes have become my tools of choice. Even to the point where my day book, research notes etc are all on Google's servers.It was just so easy, enabling me to effortlessly work from multiple computers, operating systems and locations. I know, I know this is foolish all my eggs are firmly in one basket. It has crept up on me. As a long time computer user and committed pessimist I have used many schemes over the years to ensure my data is safe. Now I have ceded all control to Google. How can I regain some control and back this all up? Is there a one touch solution that will take all my data from the various online apps and archive it on my home server?"
