I also backup to an offsite website, Dropbox.com. I just have a directory I copy to and the installed software will automatically backs up to DropBox or you can upload manually. Best part is DropBox is free.

To prevent that from happening in the future, you might want to "back up" both the refdata and ve3gsu data bases on more than one media. I back up on three flash drives and one network storage device (Seagate external drive). By the way, if you are not already doing it, it is a good idea to back up the Dxb2007.ini file found in the Windows directory, and (if you have "concocted" your own field order for your QSO Log window) the field order file you made that resides in the DXBase2007 folder.

Is that not good enough? There seems to be a few steps using your utility that 'scare' me.
