So I took a different route and started backing up all my data on a Sandisk 32GB flash drive. I would transfer the data to ALL my computers, all running Windows (gasp), 3 at the office not including a portable Acer Aspire One. I would then physically carry the Acer and the flash drive home and transfer the data to my home laptop (HP) via USB. If figure one or maybe two Windows systems may go down at the same time, but not FIVE. Safety in numbers. And if one of my USB ports goes flaky I still have at least three on each machine, more on the towers. So far no problems.
