Backing Up!

I am backing up all my photos and scrapbook kits on DVDs now. I am so afraid the other day when my laptop died. I was thinking this is the end of my 2 year old laptop . But when I looked at the charger it was not connected. Thank God the cause of the blackout is only the battery. I got panicked there! So even if my laptop is fine I am backing up my files. What if it is not the battery that is the problem? All my important files will be gone in a minute. Yaiks!
