As for backups - I have the original (well original deDRM-ed) files in a folder on my desktop. Then I have my Calibre library, which is on Dropbox and there are 2 computers that regularly sync it and another 2 that less regularly do so. I also back-up my desktop to one of two 1Tb USB drives. One is attached to the computer and the other is in my desk drawer at work. I try to remember to swap then over about once a week. My backup is based on rsync and is incremental so if I wait too long it makes the backup take longer next time I swap.
