While it is likely that many of you are already doing this, I would like to suggest that you scan ALL of your paperwork, save it on your computer and organize it into files by issue and date. Once that's done, make a back-up copy on a flash drive that you have for your MEB papers only. Then place that flash drive in a safe deposit box at your bank and only take it back out when you have a large volume of papers to add. Perhaps once a quarter or twice a year would be good. An alternative would be to use an online back-up service (which I also do for my MEB files and everything else important too) but that can get more costly than a small safe deposit box which you can often get for free if you have a good account with your bank.
If you have a very large volume of paperwork, I would suggest that you break it all down to separate files just like you would do on a computer and then scan them yourself or just take them to a Kinko's or Office Max type store. They usually have high speed scanners there that will make short work of your pile of papers. It cost me over $50.00 to get my initial batch done but I think that is nothing compared to the importance of these documents.
I have done this with mine and it has insured that I will never lose anything. You may want to do the same.
