I use rsync to back up compressed text, .rc files, etc. The critically important stuff, that in meatspace would go in a safe. Photos, music, and movies (the kind of stuff that would be on bookshelves) get backed up to terabyte hard drives in USB external boxes. The difference here is that the important stuff is also on those drives. "Importance" here means how many times it's replicated, and how far apart the backups are.
