in reply to Where should I have configuration information in a file or database
I back the drive up one a week; the back up is encrypted and and two copies are stashed, one on my work lap-top and the other on and old server machine at home.

(In addition to the DB connection parameters for three moderately and one critically important Work databases, my Work Diary and some digital photographs that can't be replaced, children do grow up after all, are stored on the drive.)
In the past five years I have had to invoke the recovery procedure just once, but I do a recovery test once a quarter to make sure that I can. I am probably being a little be over-board on the paranoia side here, but....
