I'm a computer geek from way back, and my file storage rule has always been: If I need the file, I save it in 2 places, and if it's really important, I save it in 3 places.

Had all of my tutorials on my laptop hard drive, on an external hard drive, and on a jump drive. Now, guess what happened?!?!?

Yep - within one week, my laptop crashed, external hard drive failed, and hubby borrowed my jump drive and accidentally erased everything. Of course, I had saved files everywhere except onto a CD/DVD.

Luckily, some of the tutorials were in my GMail account, and I've emailed the writers of the rest with copies of the etsy or eBay invoices and they have all been kind enough to send them to me again. Many thanks to all of you who have sent me replacement files!!

Now I'll be burning everything onto disks. hmmm...where can I store the disks so I won't lose them, DH won't think they are old junk and throw them away, dogs or parrots won't chew on them, etc...???
