Why don't you use electrum (http://electrum.org/)?

It is easier than anything else. No backup needed. You just need to record your seed and password.

p.s.: Of course you will need to transffer your funds from multibit to new addresses on electrum.

Thanks for replying , actually i haven't even started with multibit yet so i guess i am on the safe side :) i just wanted to find out all the necessary information before i start using a bitcoin system and now that you've advised me to use electrum , i guess i would check that out as it sounds easier to use. Anyway is electrum a secure system ?

It is open-source. Very safe. I never heard about any serious problem with electrum.
