This is on my list of things to do. I worry that one day the computer will crash and lose everything.

That's a good idea. I have been wanting to put tutorials from youtube onto a dvd, but haven't got there yet.

I have been saving everything to a flash drive for along time now. My laptop crashed a couple weeks ago and I am so glad I had everything saved already...

My computer gets automatic back-up every night. Thanks to DH. ;-)
I would highly recommend that you do a back-up whether it's on a flash drive
or external drive. You never know when your computer is going to quit.

For those who do a back-up just once in a while...you might lose a lot of
data between back-ups. Just sayin.
