I only back up my OS files, which total about 100G.

All of my data, i.e. books, documents, music, videos,
programs, etc., I have already backed up onto USB HDD
and BDR and other optical media.

In case of a disk failure, which I have NEVER experienced
before, I am only 100G away from salvation and this is
barely a hiccough.
