Done. Hang in there, Jan.

Will do, Jan. Hope all recovers smoothly.

One of the best suggestions I've heard for storing important stuff is the 3-2-1 Rule:

* Keep 3 copies of your files (the original set, plus 2 backups).
* Save them on 2 different kinds of media (such hard drive and CD, hard drive and DVD, etc).
* Store 1 copy offsite somewhere.

That last is the hardest, of course, but online backups and keeping spare discs at a friend's or family's house works. (Some files are worth the hassle.) And even without #3, the first two rules can really save your ass.
