Lisbeth - I cannot agree more with you.  Regular backup is essential. 
As you say the HD could be faulty at any time (although with 14 y of 
Mac use, I have never had one). However, the computer could be stolen 
at any time (as I found out recently).  Now I have 2 external HD for 
backup, one at home, one in the office.
