Hi Ed, I don't know as I can help you with your back-up plan directly but I do have a constructive suggestion vis-a-vis your memory issues. A very enlightened and cogent buddy of mine is on the development team of a product designed specifically to make your life easier and free of memory mishap. I wonder if you couldn't just program back-ups along with your meds? Ask him.
