Backups are indeed important in that you can re-create your whole computer 
drive in a half hour or so depending, instead of two days plus or renstallng 
and resetting all the customzations. Wth a good backup, it's a couple 
keyclicks & wait a half hour or so per disk.

OR, back up to DVDs every few months or whenever you've make more changes 
that you could not re-create manually and they're important to you. Normally 
I back up to DVD (DL, actually) every month and if there are new, important 
files, back whenever you've created those. Then another person and I trade 
backups every couple months just to have something off-site. The DVDs only 
come in handy a couple times, but saved a LOT of grief and work. I backup C 
by itself, then the data drves by themselves.
   At the same time I do any recovery, I first remove any encryption, 
restore, and then re-encrypt and re-export the keys to go with it.

HTH,
