One a month (or whenever) just burn a CD(s) or DVD of the whole runtime.

I wouldn't risk losing losing any data for the sake of 1 or 2 duff CD-Rewritable's. Plus packet writing software, like direct CD, isn't always that reliable. Decent blank media isn't that expensive.

Personally I backup all my data files once or twice a week.
And if it's really important I'll make a 2nd copy on a different brand of disc.

OK, this is a tad paranoid maybe, and I forget to backup sometimes and I still lose stuff. Plus sometimes it's a right pain in the a**se wading through all the CD's to find stuff. But I find it's safer this way.

Pinky - you left the lens cap of your mind on again.
