But now I'm on a windows, and as Montoya asked, you can backup an windows partition using linux. I don't remember how , but you can google and find! I was thinking about this this week actually!

If you can explain it easily though, I'd love to see a kickass tutorial.

But I recently backed up my iTunes music via the built-in disc backup thing however that didn't backup playlists for me so I just backed up the entire directory to an external hard drive. I made ISO's of all my main applications and have them on an external hard drive if I should ever need to reformat and reinstall them. For my site, I have tons of backups... daily SQL dumps, frequent theme backups and entire server backups. I could lose everything on my computer and I'd only miss the music. Everything else I can download again. Things I purchase, I keep the serials in my gmail so I can just search for them and download the app again.. things like SubEthaEdit, AppZapper, Transmit and the such. As for my bookmarks, I keep all those "random" links on del.icio.us and my browser only has the essential 25 or so. At the moment, I’m not.
