I've gone the DVD route before and it's just so time consuming that I really slack off and don't do it more. I keep all my data in 4 places. My laptop, desktop, external HD, and I back up all my client works to my web server once a month. Not full proof by any means, but redundant enough for my needs. Good points Chris.

I currently house all of my web development work, music, and more on an external harddrive to help my machine run faster when running apps like Photoshop and Dreamweaver at the same time. However, do not think that your external harddrive is full proof. I have lost some client design work because of my harddrive not functioning properly. Because of this, I have started to back everything up on to DVDs- at least the most important sutff like client work and all my business information. It is important to have a backup to your backup just in case. Good post, backing up data is crucial.
