Hello all, I'd recommend even better than a backup. Get a Dropbox account (use this link, it will give us both a 500Mb bonus: http://db.tt/vhqiAWp )
Then after installing the Dropbox client on your machine, and copying your genealogy files to that folder, simply setup your program to use those files. Dropbox will always make a backup of your files, and it even keeps a 30-day history of them so you can return back in time in case of mistakes... Also, if you use multiple computers, Dropbox takes care of synchronizing the files across both of them as long as they're connected to the Internet, so you no longer have to copy files manually. Sorry if this sounded like a commercial. It just makes my life so much easier, I can't really stop recommending :) Try it, and I'm sure you'll be recommending it to others in no time also.
