General rule: If it doesn't exist in at least three places it doesn't exist at all. I think I'm covered with five.

If only i had the storage which to do so. If my 1.5T dies i loose quite a few things that, while easily redownloadable, will take at least a month and 1T of bandwidth to get back. I try to keep mental track of all of the things i have downloaded so i can get it all back in the event of a drive failure.

I back up EVERYTHING.

I raid1 my Steam games on 2x2TB drives in an eSata enclosure.

I raid1 my "random storage" (where my documents is stored) on 2x1TB drives in a USB3 enclosure.

I raid1 my media drive (movies, music, etc) on 2 1.5TB greens.

I even back up my desktop, local documents (where game saves are stored) and all AppData to a drive inside my local dev server via cobian backup every 4 hours, zipped and timestamped, cause I never know if/when my boot SSD will just up and die, and I keep some stuff on my desktop.

On TOP of all this, I back up to live drive once a month (canadian "limited" bandwidth) in case the impossible happens and all my drives die simultaneously.

Good enough?
