Cubase LE5 Audio Mixdown is Half Step up from Original recording.

Hi,
I'm in the mixdown phase, trying to mix my tracks down to WAV to transfer to CD. mixed my first track down, but when I listen to it, it is a half step up in key from where I originally recorded it.
I have searched the manual for anything related to pitch, song key, etc. Cannot find anything. I looked over the Cubase screen and see nothing for project key, pitch, etc.

Best brand of Hard Drives for audio?

Over the years, I've had 5 hard drives go out on me, and they were all drives used for A/V work. No other drive has ever failed me, except after a long and healthy life. I've got drives that are measured in megabytes that still work, but they weren't A/V drives.

So, it seems a pattern has emerged, at least for me.

Crash! Bang! Boom! Need backup advice...

So it finally happened. I just lost my bands first two CDs of music in the form of the original Cubase multi-tracks.

I can reconstruct them, and I will.

I need advice on a small backup system so that this can't happen again. I can't spend a thousand dollars on a nice box. Something more ghetto, but functional, would do.
