I have a desk top and a laptop and I keep most of my data files on both
systems. Last year I got an external hard drive for extra backup. Last
year my laptop died so I replaced it. I copied all my data files on my
desk top to USB memory sticks to transfer it to the new laptop. A couple
weeks later my desktop suddenly bit the dust. Bad timing to have to
replace a second computer in less than a month, but good timing in that
I had fresh backups.
