I use rsync (free, open source) to back up my files on my server in Los Angeles to my laptop in Hollister, and vice-versa. After the first time, keeping 60 GB in sync on a daily basis takes no time at all. California would have to get blown to smithereens, or an unlikely coincidence would have to occur, for me to lose my data.
