That way if the unthinkable happens and we lose everything, she has all of her stuff saved. The flash drives really aren't that expensive. I got her a 2G drive for twenty dollars.

Would work for me if I had 20$.

You know, Santa is coming. Ask for a flash drive. Target periodically has great sales on flash drives. You could even get a 1G for about nine dollars. If all you use them for is your writing, it'll hold an amazing amount of data.

those are some great ideas. Where, though, should I start building? character bio's?

Been there. I now have multiple copies in multiple formats. I have the files on two separate computers. On a flash drive. On a CD. And at least one hard copy of everything.
Yep, been the data recovery route too. The cost of which made my hair stand on end and convinced me that redundancy is a very good thing!

Y'know, this sounds like a smart plan. I've been writing something for National Novel Writing Month that's turned into a bit of a jewel. It's the first real pet project I've committed to in a while, so the thought of losing it makes me shiver. Flash drive... gotcha.
