And you cannot move things you buy off the Second Life grid. (You can, of course, move any scripts off the grid if you have mod rights on them. )

These limitations may not be what you expect of something you "own." Some of them may well change in the future. Meanwhile, here are some suggestions about precautions.

Holodecks
For big builds, where you might lose a part of the build, your best bet is a holodeck. The entire build can be put in a crate and rezzed when you need it. If the build is made of full perm contents, the crate can be set to full perm also. The you can give it to your friends for redundancy. With the Horizons version, you can make a crate, rez the build, and freeze the build so that it is just as in was before it went into the crate. All the while, you keep a copy safely in your inventory
