It was my fault for trying to upgrade to SP1 in the first place. Before that the last crash was 11 years prior. What I do is use two external hard drives, 1 USB flash drive, and three external hard drives. I have over ten years of files saved and haven't had a problem recovering my files. A good tip is to use a second eternal hard drive to store your files on that us completely separate from the hard drive that your operating system is on. This way if the OS crashes, the files you need are unharmed and still accessible while or after you recover from a crash.

Also run an Apple Time Machine to keep the Macs backed-up. Used it to recover some of Kristy's mail once after a freak-out. Well worth the investment.
