I must confess that I don't get the idea that one should not have anything they care about enough that it bothers them to lose it. Well different strokes I guess.
My solution is that I use a Drobo raid drive to handle hardware issues and back my important directories to a second drobo raid drive as well as dropbox for off site backup. I remember hearing a photographer say on a podcast that nothing was safe until you had 3 copies, one of which was off site. Of course, he was a professional photographer, but the idea translates well enough. It does help to have software where one can set up an automatic backup.
