I'm normally not overly worried about backups.  I have a Ubuntu 7.10
server happily sitting in the corner with a 9x400g drives in a raid5
software array.  My laptop attaches via NFS to the server so all my
pictures, media, and documents are on the NFS mount and thus on the
server.  the only thing that I normally need to grab in a disaster, if
I remember, is some of my config files (.*rc files).

Of course when I roam, I don't have the server attached, but I have
docs that I need on a local directory as well that I use rsync with.
