If your situation permits, you could use an administrator-friendly,
rational operating system, such as Linux or Mach, that permits you to
backup a working system comprehensively, and, after a disk crash,
fire, or other mishap, to quickly restore a *working* system from a
*comprehensive* backup image.  That would solve a bunch of problems
all at once.  Of course, your situation may not permit that, but it's
something to think about.

(Confidential to all US government personnel to whom this private
letter is not addressed and who are reading it in the absence of a
specific search warrant: You, along with the corrupt and pusillanimous
109th Congress, are co-conspiring to subvert the Constitution that you
are sworn to defend.  You can either refuse to commit this crime, or
you can expect to suffer criminal sanctions in the future, when the
current administration of the United States of America has been
replaced by one that respects the rule of law.  I do not envy you for
having to make this difficult choice, but I urge you to make it
wisely.)
