I have found USB backup tedious. Look at ESATA. It is twice as fast.

Ed,

Yes, continue with your project to reconvert all your stuff but start with the things you
like the most and make it a low priority project.

While your working on that think about getting an external USB hard drive for backing up.
They're really cheap (<$100 for 250 GB). Or, try Mozy.com. It will automatically make a
back up of whatever you specify at a given time each day. Once set up it's nearly
invisible. It's free up to 2 GB. They save the last 30 days worth of backups. It's an
incremental backup so after the initial one is done it doesn't take very long, 10 - 15
minutes depending on how much has changed and you can adjust how much of the computer's
resources are used so you can still work while the back up is being done.
