Most definitely a good idea, Earle. However, the OP didn't copy *all* downloaded
programs to DVD immediately:
" The software I had decided to pay for was immediately transferred to DVD,
sometimes left on the HD or deleted."
That would be the reason for the concern in trying to recover the files thought
to be backed up by OneCare.
