Backup on 2 HDD. One is working copy, the other is on a PC utilised purely for storage. 1 more CD-R as backup and for the really really important stuff, I'd have them burnt on archival grade CD-Rs as well Grin. Thats 4 separate copies of which 2 are untouched.

I mentioned before you can use Microsoft SyncToy to do on-demand replication so that you can "checkpoint" a working file before you start messing with it.

get synctoy for free http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/using/digitalphotography/prophoto/synctoy.mspx


alternatively get a mac and use time machine
