I have important files (my thesis and data, heh) backed up on, at last count, six physical drives and two externally-managed servers (a friend's, and Amazon S3). There will be no 'dog ate my homework' for me!
I remember those days from doing my dissertation. I had backups everywhere. On my webspace, my iPod, my thumb drive, my email, my parents computer 150miles away. I wasn't gonna lose it! The paranoia makes me chuckle!
