Backing it up to locations outside of the current hard drive is a <em>very</em> good idea, though - if the backup's only on a different partition of the same drive, and something happens to that drive, you might be out of luck in terms of restoring the backup later...But with a backup (or backups) stored on a second hard drive, or on media stored outside the computer (or both), if something happens to the drive, then you have a far better chance of recovering anything important =) I just can't bring myself to back up things that often, due to the issues I've had with it in the past...I really should, though - It's a bad habit that I don't do it like I should.

I had similar experience before, and then I learnt to make a backup, I should always back up to a different harddisk (not another partition) or better yet... to a different storage (e.g. CDs) Sorry to hear this.
