  backups

  On a slightly related note- be careful with those CD backups. The jury is still out, but it seems even the best media these days still has a very limited shelf life. I wouldn't trust anything critical on CDs without backing up the backups every other year or so. I've just started losing some of my burned audio discs, and they're only 3-4 years old.
