No, I don't realy should do a couple of them but most of my work is either stored on CD anyway or I can get the prgrams back again from the internet.

Nope, only photo's on CD's, coz I don't have anything important on here really. I made sure I did the sytem back up though - that's very important!

I think photos are the main thing everyone should keep a copy of. They are irreplacable after all.

I don't back up anything - still trying to get to grip with using a computer and I definately do not know how to back things up - I should as well because I nearly lost everything due to a virus in the computer but luckily everything was saved

Well for someone who's supposed to know about computers I don't actually know what is the best way to backup a home PC... I could tell you how I do it but i've anything but a normal setup here

I would say copying all your 'My Documents' and any Shared folders to CD (or DVD) is a good start though
