Of all the data I keep, the critical stuff is on my flash memory and I keep backups of that in two locations every 48 hours. All else is essentially disposable, duplicated to other machines or rebuildable.
The iMac is primarily my iTunes and iPhoto station; while I value those, I'm not willing spend money for a .Mac account. Since neither is updated very often, a periodic backup to a USB external disk works as a cheap alternative.
In my ideal world, I'd replace/upgrade all five machines in my office to have huge hard drives, gigabit ethernet, multiple huge monitors and fibre switches to a SAN array. Alas, that would take money away from my chocolate & Coke Classic budget. A geek can dream though. :-)
