That's the annoying thing - my patients ask for my email address all the time.

I decline, explaining email isn't appropriately secure for health communications... and get the "Come on, get into the 21st century, you luddite!" response. Particularly from the Blackberry crowd.

But everyone posting at slashdot is "I wouldn't go to anyone who isn't super safe."

Sadly, most patients aren't like that...

In answer to the question: Is there a "FTP-style backup" service?

Foldershare

It works on Mac and Windows. My understanding is that it sets up an automatic encrypted peer-to-peer mirror of folders between machines you designate. So for me, I have it mirror folders on my personal laptop, my work desktop, and my brother's desktop (which is the automated-internet-equivalent of what someone said in an earlier post, "mail a DVD-R to my mom"). If anything crashes, we've got two more copies of it.

Only drawback, doesn't work for Linux yet; likely never will work since they were recently acquired by Microsoft. But there's probably a way to Samba-serve a work-around for that...
