Yep, me too. My video collection is immaculate. Then when that was pretty close to perfection, I moved onto my books...
Like @Haertig I have divided my data into two categories -
1. Important data, or data that if lost would be difficult and time-consuming to replace
2. Not really important, or I have (with media) original dvds/blurays to restore from
Important stuff is mirrored onto a local drive, and also backed up to an offsite HDD at irregular intervals, about once a month.
Been working quite well for the last 10+ years. I have had two HDD failures, both containing the "important" data. No stress. New HDD and then copied back the mirrored backup.
Start of Dec I built myself a TrueNAS server as I had run out of storage on my mish-mash of mixed spinning disk drives. While not a true backup, it does offer some redundancy for the second category.
