Not to stick a finger in Richard's bleeding wound... but a 1TB hard-drive is less than $200 CAD. And you can get 6GB of Google mail for free if you're really feeling the pinch. 8GB USB thumb drives are around $30 CAD, and DVD blanks are like 25 cents a piece. I don't see the cost issue.

Richard, so sorry to hear this. I have been like that, not having a backup at all. Now I have done my masterpiece about a year ago, and have it on backup on DVD at 4 different locations as well as 3 webservers, 1 USB stick and, as Rob pointed out, in my Gmail account. I know it's hard and can cost you quite a sum if you don't have backups at all (thank God my customers always sign a contract where it says that data backup is their responsibility, not mine). Once, it cost me 7.000 Euros :o( Sorry to say that I have never downloaded from your site, just wanted to give you a little pad on the shoulder. Sometimes it's not too bad to start from sratch (by god, i have done it many times until I learned about data backup *lol*) Cheers mate! Don't worry, things could be worse!
