    I did purchase a couple of coins and they are now stored in my BlockChain Wallet. I did try to backup using the BlockChain untility but I wasn't able to do it. Any suggestions on how best to backup?

    What do you mean by blockchain wallet, did you do it online using blockchain.info or with an application, if so which application?

    I keep mine offline on a USB key, Armoury is a free wallet that will help you do that.
    Expensive beers he bought there ..now that a BTC is hovering around 1100 dollars :)
    A paper copy is a good idea too. Your drive fails and you're in trouble if you're mining and all your coins are sitting in a wallet with data all on that drive.
