I must make a backup of my system soon, there's so much data on it it'd be a pain to loose. I almost screamed a couple nights ago because I deleted my Fedora 4 partitions and GRUB went with it, so I ran fixmbr from the XP boot disc, but for some reason because I have 2 NTFS partitions it labelled my system drive D instead of C, and I couldn't boot into XP. I ended up reinstalling Fedora. Lucky escape, with my l337 knowledge of bootloaders
The data I've got isn't really valuable enough to encrypt, it's all stuff I can get back, and I've got my dogs to protect us from theifs.
