I back up all my important stuff on more than one external. I think my pics are actually in 3 places just in case of worst case scenario.

Last reformat I removed my second partition, so it's OS + other data on one now. This PC is complete junk and will be only used as an internal fileserver/P2P system after I get my new laptop. I don't mean performance wise. It's actually physically broken in several places. DVD-ROM is fried, Bluetooth is fried, right speaker sounds like WW3 started. Left shift key is not responding. I cut the blades of one of the internal fans instead of replacing it (Not the CPU fan). etc. etc.
