Backing up my stuff.

I'm in the beginning of backing up my "stuff". I'm on my 8th DVD, I didn't think I had a lot of stuff on my hdd. Stuff just adds up over the years. I'm backing up, for a move over to Ubuntu, I've installed it in Sun VirtualBox, got Wine installed on it. (Oh, DVD 9 is done burning. Now, on to 10.) I didn't get on how to install it at first. But, I did get it to install, with some help. I wanted to see what I could do in it, but it was to slow, windows was taking most of my memory. So, I boot it from CD and, Ubuntu is nice, It is smooth, I like the windows and, how they look like there doing a back flip off the screen when you close them. I couldn't do much in the demo mode of Ubuntu. As soon I'm done with burning my stuff. I'm going to install Ubuntu. I can always move back to windows, if I ever feel the need. Or, install windows in Sun VirtualBox.

my solution was and is to have two internal 500gig drives for any files that i do not want to loose if anything should happen to windows. i even move my documents to My Files so not to even have them on C: i personally do not like the idea of an external drive that someone may be able to walk away with.
