                        The claims are directed to a data protection device.  Claim 1 is                               
                 illustrative:                                                                                         
                        1.  A data protection device comprising:                                                       
                               a fire-resistant enclosure comprising an inner wall and an                              
                        outer wall and having a thermally resistant material between the                               
                        inner and outer walls, the inner wall defining an interior volume                              
                        for housing an electronic data storage device therein, and                                     
                        having a closeable opening, said enclosure capable of                                          
                        protecting contents from environmental hazard;                                                 
                               at least one electrical connector within said enclosure for                             
                        providing power inside said enclosure; and                                                     
                               at least one data link within said enclosure for providing                              
                        data communication between inside said enclosure and outside                                   
                        said enclosure when said opening is open or closed;                                            
                               said at least one electrical connector and said at least one                            
                        data link extending outside said enclosure for connection with                                 
                        at least one power source and at least one data source;                                        
                               wherein said at least one electrical connector and said at                              
                        least one data link extend between said inner and outer walls in                               
                        such manner to substantially prevent an environmental hazard                                   
                        from affecting contents of said enclosure.
