I use a program called syncback from
They even have a free version which will do just fine for what most
need.
mine is set to back up my log every hour, so unless i am making a
lot of q's
chances are i won't ever loose much.

Good idea Bruce,
I turned that on as well.? As a former systems analyst I'm
kind of kicking myself.? One of my primary jobs was to write
code to backup headend unix servers and verify them for
integrity.? I hang my head in shame! :)? At least I didn't?
lose anything this time!

DXKeeper can
automatically backup your log on shutdown.? That won’t
protect from a spontaneous PC reboot but at least you would
have a backup from the last DXKeeper shutdown which might
minimize the lost data.
I shutdown DXKeeper every evening and it backs up my
log to my NAS.
Yep, I know.? I'm a systems analyst.? I just
need to smarten up and do backups more often.?
The plan is to replace the computer when we get
moved into our new house but for now it's the
best I can do.? I'll start doing a backup
everyday just in case.?

+ AA6YQ comments below
I keep the log file on a Raid 5
NAS drive because I know the little computer
at my rig is an old piece of garbage.? It's
done spontaneous reboots once in a while
since I got it several years ago.
+ A RAID drive won't protect against disk
corruption caused your PC's spontaneous
reboots; RAID protects against data loss due
to disk failure, not incorrect write
operations from the PC - as you've now
experienced.
