I've backed up some things on CDs but don't know how to back up e-mails -
and since most of my mailing isn't social or ngs it's important.
I use a gmail account to back up some of my favorites and .ini files and
some other stuff that is hard to re-create, just email to myself and
archive it.

Yebbut won't it be lost if your hd fails?

That's why every computer guru tells you:

Back up, back up, back up!!!!!

And the really valuable stuff should be printed. Paper and ink lasts
longer than magnetic and optical media.
