As Gary says, bummer! We all forget to back-up.

Well yeah, but if your back up is on the computer that was stolen?
That said, the price of back up external drives has really fallen. I purchased a SS 4TB drive for a bit of change over $100 US. It's about the size of a deck of cards.

I'm so sorry to hear that, paddythewriter!
I use a flip drive to back up like you do, but I also use Carbonite which is an online or cloud backup "service". There is an annual fee, but, FOR ME, I found it totally necessary due to all the things that can happen to my files/computer/my own stupid mistakes.
Hang in there, buddy.

If you are using Windows 10 you have the cloud available to backup important files. Plus, my suggestion for a web site is to put a copy of the .xar file on the web site.
Also for future reference "Lojack for windows", it will find your laptop.
I can see the attractive but not all the reviews are favourable: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LoJack_for_Laptops. There could be a long wait for a physical recovery as well.
If you have W10 Professional, use BitLocker so your sensitive files are encrypted.
My preferred Cloud option is Dropbox as I have backups on my my PC through Xara, the design file directly to the Dropbox folder so I have backups through the Cloud and finally cloned back to all other devices sharing the Dropbox folder.
Uploading the design file to your website works but it is then on the Web and unless you are strict, updating it is a chore.

Hi I did have it backed up on two memory sticks which were separate from my laptop but when the robbers broke into my house they stole these as well +my tower+about 5 standalone hard drives.
I had just about every else backed up to cloud but not he web sites. I'll probably reconstruct the sites and back them up to Cloud this time!!!!!
Nice place Ireland.
