I have 2 log books, 1 which I use primarily, and the other as a back up. If you start soon enough its no bother transfering the information. Now after every flight I get my log book that I keep in a secure place and just update it with the previous flight(s). That way if I ever loose my log book, I have another one immediatly available....however if that does happen, to which I hope it does not, no way will i copy it all out again, photo copy would be best bet. Its a good system though if you start early enough
