If you have enough advanced notice to be elsewhere, why not just carry
the hard disk with you?

When my wife, kids and I evacuated Reseda, California, four hours after
the "Northridge Quake", which was really centered in Reseda six blocks
from our apartment, we grabbed checkbooks, credit cards, a couple
changed of clothes, and my last backup, and drove 350 KM out of town to
where the ground wasn't shaking. Earthquakes don't destroy backups, but
the looting that often follows does.

Thanks,
