I run everything on a MacBook and use Dropbox for a backup of my crucial files,
and the Mac Time Machine runs hourly backups while I'm on my home wireless
network, plus every time I leave work I back up my work files to a flash drive.
I got burned once too many times, and each one of my backups has come in handy
from time to time. ("Has come in handy..." = "saved my ass.") I suspect that
almost everyone who backs up obsessively does so out of bitter experience.
