External drive(s) may be a safer place to keep irreplacable files.
I use a simple Raid1 NAS for "must keep" files.

Oh I agree TOTALLY! Although I have like over a thousand files that are directly stored on my PC I ALSO have them stored on a 1TB drive in an encrypted folder, so should anything ever happen, I can put back what's lost or corrupted. Also I run the "Backup" tool every month, with incremental backups between the monthly ones. I do NOT intend on losing data EVER again! The last time I DID lose data was when I was going from "Windows" to Linux, and ever since losing some very "vintage" guitar sounds from my Cakewalk days, I've never done ANYTHING without a backup made first.

On a totally different note, but related just the same...because of all the files I have now I'm thinking maybe it's time for a "dedicated server" to hold them all, can someone recommend an OS/distro that would handle this along with possible "printer duties" and "security" that will be easy to use and "light" on the hardware?....(and just FYI I have no command line/scripting skills so something with a GUI would be preferred!...)
