Thanks, all!

I am too old to be a noob, but I am also too old to be ashamed to ask: do you prefer to single or stereo mic acoustic guitars?I've been using two sm81s, spaced about 8 inches apart, one pointed at the 12th fret and the other pointed, somewhat obliquely, toward the other side of the sound hole.

You do have a point, but you can easily make several exact copies of whatever it is you are storing the files on and store them in multiple locations with minimal climate control concerns.
