I advise you all the backup your game! My PC just crashed and I have to re-install, (i have a plan to get my games back, but it's a ball ache)
Back up your games to a USB or even cloud storage. Just in case
BACK UP YOUR GAME! :P

sounds like you lost a game then?
even just zipping up to another folder helps.

Very true, I like to keep backups external to my PC. My plan is to install my OS onto my second HDD (640GB), and adding my original HDD (1TB) as a second drive and salvaging any files I need.

I wouldn't recommend backing up to a USB stick, they are easily lost and are very likely to go wrong. Just buy a 16-32GB external HDD, it's a lot more reliable...
I will be the one to take you down!

hmm.. so far I never had a problem with a flash card/stick. Although ive mostly stuck with good branded ones, such as sandisk.

Of course a branded one will do you better, but all of them do have a limited lifetime, and it isn't that long; this is if you are using very often, like transferring documents between work/school and home, so it's a good idea to not use the same memory stick for both applications. If you are gonna just stick files on it and then leave it, it should be fine; your only problem then will be if you lose the thing!

When I was at college, we only had 1.44Mbs - so instead we emailed ourself. This kept a copy on our email accounts, although now a better way would be online storage for backup. I only use a flash-stick a little, I guess the reason I havnt had any fail on me, yet.

I have a 256 meg USB stick which I use to use for data transfer between non-networked computers, but recently I've been using my MP3 player. It's got 2 gigs of space to play with, and works like a dream for shifting documents and pics from one hard drive to another

I've got an incredibly old 2GB USB stick (would have been VERY expensive back in the day), but I also have a 64GB one somewhere (its a bit bigger than a normal one), but I rarely use them; i transfer data with the cloud and e-mail, but I do have 2TB of back-up space if it need it...
