I do make backups, but not as often as I should.  I've been more of a
sedated easter bunny.  I think I'll make a backup now, though.

I suppose that the symlinks are there for a reason; perhaps it could be

No; all my computers run GNU/Linux.  I suppose I could try to put
another file system on the drive, but I don't know if that's possible,
or a good idea.  (I suppose I could look it up, and there are probably
other advantages to a unix file system.)
