My gmail is not locally anywhere though. It would be a bummer if I lost all that email but not life ending. I actually trust google to keep it safe more than a $150 hard drive in my PC actually.

I have my Gmail running through my email client with pop3 access. So I have it both ways - redundant, yes; and I don't get a lot of email that it would kill me to lose, except school notices. So I guess I'm a bit paranoid.
When it comes to my books, though, I'm REALLY paranoid. I have them on the hard drive, I have them on my SD card in the reader, I have them backed up to DVD and stored at a friend's house. Comes from having to leave an extensive physical book collection in Texas when I moved to Illinois due to lack of money for shipping. Some of those I'll never be able to replace in any format at all - they're out of print. (Unless Google comes through and I'm not holding my breath for that...)
