I realise Christmas is coming but this taking the gadget-religious link thing a bit far.

Meet the Maria USB Stick which the makers advertise with: “Oh Maria, Kepp My Data Safe!’. I’ll confess that I have invoked the odd deity’s name when my PCs have died or crashed in the past but I’m pretty sure buying this 512MB stick would get me sent straight to Hell. Here’s what the makers say:

Standing dignified on her socket, enshrined in Plexiglas, when work calls she frees herself of her surroundings. Connected with the computer she comes to life, her red LED heart starts to beat – in passive state slowly, quicker whilst connecting or saving data. On her halo is engraved the prayer – “Oh Maria, keep my data safe!”

If technical skills have failed you then maybe some Divine Data Storage really is the answer. You’re still going to Hell though. Yours for a non-charitable £50 here Yes, £50 for a whole 512MB - if not the holiest storage device, Maria is certainly one of the most expensive.
