Amen; I was fiddling around with financial data on dad's laptop to sort  
things the way he wanted... today he said it was all shot, apparently I  
wasn't too careful... I said I can restore backup from last month, which  
wouldn't be too bad... then i realized there was a backup from a few days  
ago when i did a full copy of all computers.. whew. i leared the hard way  
when earlier playing around lost a lot of data. now everything gets sent  
to a HD on the home server seperate from the OS and applications hdd, and  
burn to cd once a month.
