BTDT The best advice I can give you is backup backup backup.
I use an external USB hard drive to back up my work several times a day. Every time I have completed enough work that I don't want to have to do it over, I back up my data. If I were in your situation, I would back up to another computer on my network and make dvd backups every day.
