Which is precisely why a regular back-up routine is so important. Any
computer can 'die' unexpectedly and sometimes, even if the problem
isn't terminal it's necessary to format the hard drive and re-install
the OS from scratch - losing all your stuff in the process. And if the
problem is terminal, and the computer needs to be replaced, an
up-to-date backup means you can put all your stuff onto the new
machine and still access/use it.

Even burning the entire contents of you 'My documents' folder onto a
CD or DVD weekly or monthly is well worth while. If you have other
folders with vital stuff in them include them too. Using a dedicated
'back- up
program will make the nack-up and restore tasks easier help the
process and save disk space but you don't absolutely need one.

You beat me to it!

Back up, back up, back up!
