Bill..
try keeping all data in one common directory..

i keep my important stuff in a very few directories:
backup
download
and anything with the .all extension..

so its easy to do a backup of data and important stuff..

also, some of the power quest utilities make a complete system backup
possible.. in a compressed form..
