>With hard drives getting so large, what is everyone doing to backup data, programs and environment settings for their home PCs?

I have not done backups for a long time - most work is for clients, wehre they get a copy and I have an additional copy on my computer, so it ain't urgent. On the other hand, I do have some other data that I should start worrying about... like my e-mail, for instance.

Anyway, I was considering CD-RW (I just started to use the CD writer recently, with my new computer), to backup client data, e-mail, etc.; in summary, all my "Files" folder. I don't worry about backup up the entire hard-drive; not worthwhile, IMO. For purposes of backup, I keep all data that is worth-while to backup in a single folder, C:\files.
Difference in opinions hath cost many millions of lives: for instance, whether flesh be bread, or bread be flesh; whether whistling be a vice or a virtue; whether it be better to kiss a post, or throw it into the fire... (from Gulliver's Travels)
