Yes. Same for backups. A friend of mine knows a well-known ABC guy whose hard disk on his lappy just died taking years of precious documents with it. I've just come back from buying hardware for my backup system - an external 250gb disk + a dual layer burner. The disk was only $200. The enclosure (firewire+usb2) was only $50. The dual layer burner was only $75 -- rockin! Backup is a lot cheaper these days.
