Technology often caters to us, and that makes us lazy, and that is always true, even if to a smaller degree in some cases or with some people.

What do you propose to do? It is scary to think of such eventualities. What would you do?

After losing a full 200GB hard drive a couple of years ago, I now make a regular habit of burning my drives to DVD's. I have a number of CD/DVD binders that hold 240 disc's each. It takes 50 DVD's to back up an entire 200GB hard drive. It takes a bit of time but it's worth it to have all the files I've downloaded and created safe. I burn all personal data to a CD once a month(my emails, address book, receipts, documents, bookmarks, etc.). I also have a disk I keep updated with all the smaller essential programs that I'd need to reinstall should I need to rebuild the drive again in the future. I also have a small personal phone book thats kept up to date with all the numbers in my cell phone.

If you want to spring for a RAID controller card, you can also buy a second drive and create a mirror drive set. Then you have two drives storing your data, if one goes down, the other one takes over. You can get RAID cards fairly easily. There's a few of them on this page from NewEgg.com -
