Synchronet is a pretty good package for resiliency. There aren't a lot of dependencies, so you could just copy the c:\sbbs\ directory to an external hard disk every couple of days. If I lost my boot disk or my system, I could throw together something and copy that folder from external to the new system. I've had to do that before.   :(
