I already have a 1.5 TB external HDD. And I intend to use GPT partitioning, which (I've read) stores checksummed copies of the partition table. For the actual data, I have weekly backups to the external HDD, and I intend to have daily rsync of some of the SSD data to the internal HDD. Would not that be safe enough? > I recommend a file server or NAS for bulk data -- downloads, music, > photographs, videos, etc..

I store my dotfiles (and some other data) in a git repository in my notebook. I hope that duplicity is correctly backing up that git repository, but I admit I have not tested it.
