After a total computer failure, the ideal scenario would be to load a few CDs, punch a few buttons, wait about an hour and voilà, your system is ready for you to resume work as if nothing had happened.
There are packages that you can purchase which claim to restore your PC to any particular point in the past. There are also systems for cloning your PC. This whole-earth approach, while effective, is so broad, that it is beyond the scope of this article. At any rate, you'll still need to recover individual files in a disaster.

This dire-sounding phrase simply means that you can retrieve your files even after a total disaster. Disasters include mechanical failure, theft, operator error (Oops!), fire, and – believe it or not – software upgrades.
Assuming you have decided to focus on mission-critical recovery, your next step is to decide whether the backup plan should revolve around your current working environment and habits, or whether you should adopt new organizational methods to facilitate backups. The choice is up to you. The only thing you should keep in mind is that, if the backup plan is too complicated, you're not going to bother.
On the one hand, if your work is scattered all over the hard drive and you elect to have a backup plan that revolves around this current plan, it will probably be a time-consuming task to not only set up the initial backup plan, but also to maintain it.
