For backup, I have two external hard drives, one that stays connected to the computer and one that stays in our safe. Both are updated frequently. I am paranoid about losing important things, incase you couldn't guess. All my important files are in My Documents, so that is all I backup. The software I can reload if my hard drive crashes, but the pictures and documents are priceless.

Which external hard drive do you use? I am thinking about Seagate. I also use a 8GBflash drive which is always plugged in, so anything important can be transferred. I never empty my camera memory card, so I have that backup too.
Paranoia or I have had one too many hard drive crashes?
