This is the key. :-)

Join the club!  I've just made up a backup CD which contains the
important nitty gritty of the systems here, just in case disaster
strikes.... AGAIN!  Last time around involved expensive repairs (and the
lucky fact that I already had a partial backup). :-)  Now I have a
complete set to start from, so I can put off HDD repairs until I aquire
the necessary bits, and load the backups onto a new disk. :-)

... Chain Tagline. Now stolen [267] times. Add 1 as stolen.
