Groove Briefcase There has been a lot of talk recently about using Groove as a type of briefcase.  I have used Groove extensively in this manner until recently when Groove corrupted months of work.  I know a lot of you out there are probably saying, well, don't you have a backup?  Well, I thought having my Groove data distributed (synced) on 2-3 machines was backup enough and no need to separately backup my data.  WRONG.  Groove has not only corrupted data on one computer but also was very good at syncing that corruption to the other boxes. The excellent Groove technical support group has been working very diligently with me in the last 2 weeks to resolve this issue.  It seems to be a common problem when upgrading to 2.1. I have been waiting on the outcome to write about this, however I wanted to get the warning out there that if people are using Groove in this manner, you should definitely be doing backups of your data just like anything else.   11:59:14 PM
