Print email confirmations ASAP...
Please learn from my mistake--print all confirmations, reservations, etc. as soon as you receive them--don't wait. As a result of a software glitch --not a virus-- in our computer yesterday our entire email account was wiped out. We have several big trips in the works and though I printed many emails I did not print them all and as a result I've lost reservation information for a few hotels, etc. I'm sure everything will work out but I'll have to do some serious back tracking--please don't let this happen to you!

This is a good idea, as I lost some of my important email, also -- sort of a software problem, but related to a dying hard drive.
I keep a backup copy of any really important reservations and confirmations on a different email account, and that is a good idea, also. I use my main personal account to make them, and then forward a copy of all final reservations/confirmations to my business work email account. If either one is missing or erased, I have a copy on the other machine. I also send a copy at the same time to a "free" internet email account I maintain on Yahoo -- that one is pretty failsafe as the received mail is kept on the Yahoo server, not on my machine, and I can also access it from any computer while I am traveling.
