MY SOLUTION
I'm paranoid about loosing data, so:
Besides making data backups on CD, I had my desktop computer built with three cartridge mounted slide out hard drives.
As you can see in the photo, they are all removable from the from of the case.
I use the top one as drive C: and alternately back up on to each of the other drives EVERY NIGHT.
Using Norton Ghost, I clone an image of EVERYTHING on drive C: onto D: and then REMOVE D: from the computer. The next day, I clone C: onto E: and remove.
At any given point in time, I have two complete back ups of my entire system.
The cartridge mounts are $25.00 each sand hard drives are pretty cheap these days. Was it worth it?
The last time something went wrong, I shut down the computer, removed drive C: and replaced it with D:. Took me 30 seconds!
