    Yeah same. I backup /home and /space to an external drive occasionally and stick it on a shelf. If the machine dies, pfft. Reinstall, upgrade, reload what I want from old /home.

    All the large files - music, movies etc - are on an external raid 5 box. I'd be annoyed if I lost it, but it wouldn't be catastrophic, its backup is the original CD's and DVD's in a box somewhere.
