Carbonite.com - It's a secure website that will backup your files for you. It takes a little while the first time you do it. You mark which folders you want backed up and it not only backs them up, but it watches those folders so anytime you make a change, it notices and automatically backs it up. Super easy to use. I guess I hadn't thought about the fact that I probably have more information than most on my computer with all of my giant work files and what-not. I also have my art files and writing and stuff and if I lost those, I would be devistated. :) Lastly, if something ever happened to my computer, be it natural disaster or electronic disaster, I feel really good knowing that I can recover everything from anywhere on any computer. Other people have mentioned some online places as well, but I don't have any experience with them, so can't comment. Jimmy might be onto something though. Maybe backing up stuff on external drives AND having them online is the way to go. I also have my entire family tree at ancestry.com, so I can breathe a sigh of relief there as well.

Speaking of Family trees.........Did anyone buy the new Family Tree Maker software? I did and I am extremely unhappy. It's totally different and really hard to work. It doesn't have the features the old did either. (no calendars, etc.) But it's all I've got for the Vista machine. Thanks, Vicki

I have the 2007 version and use it on my Vista..
