You are looking for some way of safely and reliably backing up your data
files. There are many backup utility programs available to do this. Windows
has a built-in backup tool, but I prefer 3rd party tool myself.

On my desktop system at my office I have an external 160GB drive attached
via USB and use a program called SecondCopy (http://www.centered.com ) to
have it copy all files that have changed on my system during the past hour.
This is in addition to the other backup strategies we have in place for files
on our two server systems (they are backed up every 2 hours, with a full
backup to DVD performed once a week).

At my residence I use the same type strategy (same backup program, external
drives) to backup changed files every 2 hours.

You do not want to backup to the same hard drive that the source file is on
- if the drive goes bad, then everything may be lost, including the backup
copy.

You can even build very large external drives less expensively than buying
one 'read-made' off the shelf by purchasing a large hard drive and an
external enclosure separately. I have several setups like that at my
residence - both EIDE and SATA drives that were originally internally mounted
hard drives that I've moved into external enclosures and attached to systems
via a powered USB hub.
