I would recommend that you use a client that doesn't need blockchain. Much easier and no disadvantage.
Also you can write a simple file .bat to start the wallet and set the default data directory inside the btc one, to easier a bit the blockchain manteinance.

You can also download torrents of the latest blockchain or you can even use a lightweight client like Electrum or Mycelium that doesn't download the blockchain.
It has changed to 12 weeks so maybe its just being really slow, my question should be, can you back up the block chain data so that if things go tits up again you dont have to download the whole thing ?
Yea, just make a copy the bitcoin roaming folder to someplace else and if anything happens paste it again in the windows
files.
The location will be C:\Users\User\AppData\Roaming\Bitcoin

I fired up my bitcoin client yesterday to get my blockchain up to date, after a few hours my laptop, without warning, switched off.....after a long boot up I finally get the client going again and find i'm 279 weeks behind.....I left it on overnight and this morning it seems to be stuck on 13 weeks and says "reindexing blocks on disk"
what to do ??
