I agree, you can replace your programs, but your data unless you have a backup, with the cost of 2gb usb devices now only like £7, there is no excuse or reason not to back your data up , especially if your going to need it as evidence for a visa app. and if your a company and don't back data up, your playing Russian roulette with a loaded gun
