Hey Bud:

Better back it up daily if you can. Otherwise, replace it. Relatively cheap as things go. A few folks at work (the real geeks who know this stuff) run redundant drives (mirrored pairs I think). Odds of losing both at same time are very minute. If you do lose one, then you have the other. Replace the broken one immediately. Server set ups have 'hot swapable' drives.

On this PC, I have a tape drive and back up files at least once per week. I bought this in response to losing an HD a few years ago. I lost lots of stuff (inclusing a home grown AIM simulator which I could never duplicate).

On my new PC, I'm going to back up files to CD's. I gotta figure out how to schedule that so it selects certain folders to compress and copy.

Regards, Steve
