BTDT
The best advice I can give you is backup
backup backup.
I use an external USB hard drive to back up my work
several times a
day. Every time I have completed enough work that I don't
want to have
to do it over, I back up my data.
If I were in your
situation, I would back up to another computer on my
network and make dvd
backups every day.
