Carbonite is a good idea, but the main thing is just backing up important stuff on your hard drive someplace. There are some online photo sites that give you 2 GB of photo back ups for free and Photoshop Elements does an automatic online back up of albums. I lost two hard drives on my computer within months, both times I had backed up my hard drive on an external hard drive.

Jpg files are no problem but you can't store TIFF files on the online image hosts. Highly compressed file formats degrade each time you open the file, if you want something long term you put your keepers in TIFF.
I use Photoshop 7, no need for Elements, although it has some great features.
