Default Have You Backed Up Your Hard Drive Lately?

I hadn't in a while, and wouldn't you know that last Friday my computer at home croaked?

Fortunately, we had a Norton Zip Recovery disk which at least allowed me to copy off all my files. Something hosed some system files, so I had to reformat the hard drive and reinstall everything. I was up till 2:30 Sunday morning (having gotten up at 6:30 Saturday morning--20 hours earlier--to start the day with an exhausting horseback riding lesson) and was exhausted.

If you haven't backed up your files, do it today.

Have never backed up my hard drive. Maybe it's time I started.

I never really back up much of anything, don't have any vital stuff on my comp since I'm just a gamer.
I did just get finished recovering all the data off of a mostly failed and quite full 80 gig drive though.
Not a fun week at all.
