Each block is stacked on top of the previous one. Adding another block to the top makes all lower blocks more difficult to remove: there is more "weight" above each block. A transaction in a block 6 blocks deep (6 confirmations) will be very difficult to remove.

you can back-up the wallet.dat file if your using bitcoin-qt (the original satoshi client)

Or you can send your money to an online account like on blockchain or instawallet or mtgox or wherever.
