I have an rsync cronjob back up my home partition nightly so that the chances of losing that data are slim (though I don't back up all the rest of my data from my many hard drives unfortunately - it would take up too much space). It's saved me on a number of occasions from corrupted or lost data even _without_ hard drive failures. Regular backups are a must IMHO, though I think that most people consider it too much of a hassle to bother with unfortunately.
It's dead easy on Mac OS X with the built in TimeMachine. Just select the backup disk and you're done. By default it backups all HFS+ disks, if you want you can choose to exclude some.
