Have you backed up your ebooks lately?

Have you backed up your ebooks lately? How about your digital photos & other important files?

I just burned a new backup DVD of my eBook directory, and also copied the directory to my external hard drive. I backup to the external fairly regularly, but it had been a while since I backed up to DVD media.

I also have my eBooks on the SD card for my PDA, but SD cards and the like (compact flash cards, memory sticks, USB flash drives, etc.) are volatile memory, useful for portability but not dependable for long-term backup of files.

So, when is the last time you backed up your eBooks? It is always nice to have them burned off to portable media like CDs or DVDs, just in case… I like to keep the CDs or DVDs in an alternate location. Right now that is my office at work, but one of these days I really will get a safe deposit box.
