Meh, missing option : Continuously.
Everything is mirrored. The mirror has a snapshot every hour on the hour. The snapshots are ALL backed up to external drives.

FFS, people, when will it be understood that Hemp is much more than just Cannabis? Honestly, folk... 'concluding' that the car is made of Cannabis when it's described as a 'hemp' car is like concluding a person is a heroine user when they say they took some drugs... (even if it was a headache pill).

If you didn't know that, then I wonder whether you are as geeky as you think you are.....
Silicon junctions (transistors, diodes, more), batteries, and fluorescent lamp's do not obey 'ohm's law'.... Ohm's law is the observable property of some conductors, it's not a law.
if you got that one wrong, I would hesitate on going further.

Uhhhm, yes. I realize that. But, in this case the benefit is not supposed to be for the employee. The 'benefit' is that the data is secure. it is already acknowledged that the process is slow and fragile.
Which is exactly why you just say no. The assumption being that 'work' has better handle on what's right, and if they insist on doing things in a certain manner (for whatever reason - including that it's the best way to do things), then you say 'fine', but to support that then work must provide the resources to make it happen, especially in cases where the data is so sensitive.
While you can 'just say no' in a combative manner, I am not suggesting you do that, only suggesting that you say it in a way that gets the point across.
Letting 'work' apply constraints to your personal computer implies that they want ownership of the process, which in turn implies that they should own the entire process, not just part of it.
Anyway, reversing your logic, if the data is so sensitive, and vulnerable, then by all logic, the hospital should insist on only their equipment being used.... As an analogy, would you want a CIA agent using his personal laptop to do his job?

If they insist on your home machine being encrypted, then tell them either:
1. They must supply the machine, and it's theirs, and you'll only use it for work.
2. refuse to do any work at home.

... here: http://www.crtc.gc.ca/eng/archive/2008/dt2008-17.htm
and, well, blow me down, I'm almost proud to say that it is a damn reasonable decision. Based on what I read (an not what people are suggesting it means), all it really says is that....
T1 lines will no longer be 'controlled' services in 5 years time.... (i.e. the govt will no longer regulate T1 access).... but, on the up side....
for the forseeable future, ADSL service will be regulated, the price will continue to be 'fixed' using the same price structures as they ghave been for years (govt. regulated cost + 15%)... and competition will continue to have access to co-locate to continue servicing things...
further, the decision stipulates that the monopolies can not mandate the type of service on the local loop (i.e. Bell has n control over what types of service are operated on the 'last mile'....).
In essence, I can't see any degrading of the system by this decision.
I will NOT sign the petition, and, in fact, after reading the deciison, I am motivated to write in PRAISE of the CRTC.
