As part of backup/restore you should also remember 'refdata.mdb'. I make it a practice to copy n5in.mdb and refdata.mdb to another machine regularly, and it has saved me a heap of trouble!
I like the USB Drives to do this. I have a 128MB USB Drive, cost about $75.00, which is more than adequate, but I store other valuable back up on it as well. It's tiny, would fit on a key chain, although I just drop it in my pocket.
