One of the places I work for requires backups and they have staff to do just backup that comes in at night 11PM-7AM to monitor the backup process. I do personal backups of my webpages and anything stored remotely on my local Linux server using a python script that uses lftp and rdiff-backup. I don't even have to think about it, but when things hit the fan, I have an entire local backup to rely on.

I always make back-ups of my works, music, and videos, pics, etc. Since I don't like the idea of having a huge hardisk, I just put my stuff in DVD for archiving ^_^. Me!

I do! I'm quite OC with my backups, I use Mozy to backup "My Documents", Flickr for my photos, Picasa for my scanned items, Youtube for Videos. I use Gspace and Yahoo Mail for smaller files (mostly documents). On top of that I have a spare PC which I use to backup music/video, and a USB hard drive to mirror everything. I also have an FTP server where I upload crap stuff which I fear I might need to access one day... I'm thinking of putting up a personal wiki just so I remember where I place my stuff... I do! I do!
