To be honest, any books, movies, music, etc.,
could be replaced, but it would take an
enormous amount of time and effort. If my hard drives and backups were destroyed, I'd have to assume that my 1000 CDs, DVDs and Blu-Rays they were ripped from so I could easily stream content would have also been lost. But even if they were still available, ripping that quantity would take a huge amount of time, I couldn't even begin to think how much time I've got invested in my media so it's convenient for streaming. So even while those items are replaceable, the amount of time to convert them again to digital format and put them into some type of order isn't and that would be the near impossible task for me at this point.
What isn't replaceable though are scanned family documents and photos, where the originals don't exist anymore, and about 50k digital photos taken from various places I've visited. Those are irreplaceable and I'd be absolutely heartbroken to lose them, and a fool to not have them backed up in multiple locations.
