Same here: in 1995, two days before having to turn in a big paper for school, my 486's hard disk died.

Crap...
Fortunately I did have a printout made a few days before. I never typed so fast for so long (on a loaner laptop).
That cost a pretty penny to replace, as I was still a teenager.

My eBook and music libraries are the most valuable things I own, with the exception of my house. I want to make damned sure they're multiply backed-up.

If counted in monetary value only, then I have stuff that is worth much more; my current laptop, the organ, and maybe even the piano.
If I also count the time needed to organize and fix them the way I want them, then they're easily worth more than all of my other stuff thrown together.
