It's pretty common for me to get a call with the racer saying his laptop was lost or damaged and he lost all his runs from the previous season(s). Almost same scenario if he's purchased a new laptop just because.
Building a new configuration & software installation on the new laptop is easy, but if he doesn't have the run logs backed up he's really lost VERY valuable information.
Here is a link to a procedure (Adobe PDF) to backup your logs to a inexpensive thumb drive. This will protect you if your laptop goes belly-up and only takes a few minutes. An additional easy step is to copy the logs to a home or office desktop computer for reference.
