Personally I keep the copies of my library and configuration folders on three external drives and in Dropbox. I've used my backups several times without issues.

Thank you both for your suggestions. I don't know if it was my drive that F'd things up, but since it was a full system restore on my PC, I backed up everything else too, like my massive iTunes library. And I haven't had any issues with any of the other documents.
But I will, from now on, use at least 2 separate copies of backup to be save(er).
Again, many thanks to all of you for the support.
PS: Come to think of it, I also have everything automatically backed up to iDrive (cloud backup), so there's that additional copy in case the hard drive breaks or fails. Would that be enough you think?
