There is another possibility for backups that I don't recall seeing mentioned here, and that is backing up the critical files on another computer over the lan. I have a LAN with three computers. I back-up the files to another machine. Also about once per week, I back up the entire directory and subdirectories where I have all of my geneaology files. Keep smiling, Bill Harms

An excellent suggestion, Bill. I keep backups on two hard drives in the same machine in the likely event of a hard drive crash. Just keep in mind that if all three systems are under the same roof, that roof just might burn down.
