IMO that's far too individual and just confusing the OP ;). I'm for
example using syslinux instead of GRUB and to avoid chain-loading I do
something strange and bind /boot:

[weremouse at moonstudio ~]$ grep bind /etc/fstab
/mnt/archlinux/.boot/ubuntu_moonstudio/boot /boot          none   bind              0 0

From the context we could assume that the op neither does use RAID,
VMs, nor something else unusual, such as a bootloader, that is unusual
for the averaged Ubuntu user.

RAID is even not an option for several tasks. I for example use Linux
as a real-time DAW, so raid would be much likely counter-productive and
a VM would be completely unusable ;).

Lets stay with backup options that are likely more pleasant for the
averaged desktop user. IMO apart from what I prefer, there are just
rsync based options ok and much likely just without RAID, VMs, tapes and
what soever individual expert solutions.
