Have you ever considered using Carbonite?? It's rather inexpensive, backs everything up, doesn't slow down the computer. Just a thought. I mean, I assume you put a lot of time and effort into those book covers.
I'm going to go the exact opposite route and I'm investigating using the cloud for everything and reducing my reliance on HD's altogether. Eee are about to bring out a new keyboard/computer with 8gb/16gb SSD that I'm thinking of moving to. It has an Atom 1.6ghz processor, which isn't too great, but with my writing already in the cloud, the only other app I'll need to run on a regular basis is Photoshop or the Gimp. I can also store my PSD's in the cloud also. For movie playback, i'll just grab what I want when I want to watch it from .torrents, then delete afterwards. I think the days of physical ownership or even collections stored locally are drawing to a close.
