Little tip for the fire safe. YMMV. Put some cash in the fire safe. If someone breaks into it (thinking there is money) they will probably be less likely to take other things in the safe or destroy those items (I mean a hard drive they might leave - obviously they will take anything of clear value). Assumption also is that the HD is encrypted. This comes via a practice a long time ago with cash registers. You leave the cash register unlocked and put some cash in it. Thief is presumably happy and doesn't trash the rest of the place. "Any passwords and serial numbers and etc are printed out, with the name and URL of the software they're for. A copy of that goes in the fire safe. " Doesn't seem like a good idea to put plain text passwords (is that what you are saying) in a place that someone will look thinking there is something else of value in there.
