Register a Dropbox account at https://www.dropbox.com/home. Some games ask you where to save your account files, so point them to a folder in there. When you do assignments, start them in that folder, and CTRL+S periodically.

Also, there are programs which can save a list of all your currently installed stuff, (which you can generate yourself with some programming experience), and similar things so you're never completely screwed. Dropbox is really preferable for just casual storage.

By the way, I know English might not be your native language, but the correct phrase would be, "Real man don't back up." To "back up" is a verb itself.

I remember uttering that very phrase last thursday, today my entire harddrive crashed....

I had a pretty decent backup of my old files, and most of it I can restore from 3rd party sources except an assignment I have to write for tuesday next week. (10 days)

So bye bye my prewritten 3000 words (the assignment is 6000).

At least I managed to do 4000 words today, hopefully I have time for the last 2k in the coming weeks.

So kids, take some fucking backup.....

Dropbox was vulnerable to ... basically anything.

Spideroak is pretty much a service that has 1uped dropbox.

But yes, back up your shit.
