I feel that an extra hard drives isn’t enough, so I also send a copy of my documents to my email. Aside from that, I have acquired online backup services too. Others may think of it as going overboard, but my files are extremely important to me. In your case, I think you’re doing well, so you don’t have to worry. As long as you have an extra copy of them, you’re files are in safe hands! :)Ruby Badcoehttp://www.williamsdatamanagement.com/?p=scanning-on-demandnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1663680578112260744.post-22717761045488893572013-01-18T00:48:50.113+10:302013-01-18T00:48:50.113+10:30Having had two computers die in the last three yea...Having had two computers die in the last three years, I can tell you that my favorites transferred from my backups without issue.<br /><br />I don't think I backed up the right things for passwords to transfer.<br /><br />You should be able to download the kindle things again but if you're backing them up, you should be fine.<br /><br />I've never lost a pdf unless I just didn't back it up. However, while I rarely back up programs (figuring I can reload from disk), I DO back up my adobe reader program because I have old pdf files that cannot be read by current day readers so I have copies of V3, V4 and on up just in case though I think V4 was the only one I've had to actually use.<br /><br />Not backing up programs has occasionally caused a problem. Sometimes the new operating system would not be able to run the install file for some obscure (to me) reason but it had no problem running the program if I had it backed up. Other times that wouldn't work either because there would be bits hidden somewhere deep in the file system that I hadn't backed up.<br /><br />On the other hand, when I had to move from XP to Win7 after the first crash, we had to get a new printer and scanner because there were no drivers for those printers for Win7. Now that printer cannot talk to my new Win7 because it's 64-bit instead of 32-bit. Argh!!<br /><br />From what I've been hearing Win8 is going to be far worse for backwards compatibility.<br /><br />Good luck!

It's always good to have backups, though.Miriam Drorihttp://andewallscametumblindown.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.com
