One year ago both of my computers kicked the bucket within a two week period. First my PowerBook jumped to its death off of my lab bench and then my PC ate two hard drives. Because I didn't really back things up I lost a lot of what I had excluding the important documents I had emailed to myself. Its a year later, and I am nervous. I am actually building up a largish number of documents again and still have yet to begin regular backups -- I just don't see myself burning dvds of all of my stuff every month especially since I have had some bad experience with the cds i burned of my data before I graduated college -- what did ultimately work post-college was an external hard drive that I had copied my life onto.

So... How do you keep your files safe; I am looking for a solution that requires the least amount of file duplication as possible (I don't think I need to backup my music, for instance, every month)?
