Oh, what a must DO! I would be in a world of hurt if I lost my hard drive! My web site would be safe because it's backed up nightly by my hosting company. Everything else relating to my business is my responsiblity. Finances, client lists, graphic design files, passwords, concepts, ideas...endless! I recently went the same route as you and purchased an external hard drive and back up software. Whew! What a relief it is to have that! One less thing to worry about!
