I've had enough data and program setup lost over the years. Nowadays, my work computer has two drives, mirrored (raid 1). Same for my home-office. Same for my laptop. Each system has a system image backup on external HD. All data have their own external HD backup. There's a software package on each machine that synchronizes data across multiple platforms. So far, I've lost a contoller, and two hard drives (different machines) in two years, and no loss of data or system. For photography, I use external HD's that connect with either Firewire (1394), or USB 3.0. I've got a bank of 1TB drives that are synchronized on a daily basis. It all takes some care to set up, and I won't claim my setup is very sophisticated, but I do have enough backup for my purposes.
