I don't bother with backups of anything except a clean, freshly installed OS and my laptop immediately after purchase (I only bother with these mainly because Microsoft expired my MSDNAA keys, preventing reactivations when I was still in college, and I don't trust them not to do it again). Anything important is stored in cloud storage accounts, yes, but to me, mp3 rips of my CD music connection aren't important; neither are saved games, data from class assignments 10 years ago (I have printouts and final CD presentation), etc. If my computer died, I'd be out quite a bit of data I, personally, simply don't care about--including signing keys for several software repositories, multiple versions of compiled software used for creating delta updates, and other things that people other than myself might care about. I would have a ton of work to do to regain most of this data (ripping CDs, redownloading data, cloning and building software) but most of this data simply takes up too much space to keep backed up. I will say this: box.net's webdav support is quite useful if you want cloud storage without a client like Dropbox, OneDrive, etc. I have having a background process constantly running just so I can keep up to date files that never change, and that I either don't need locally (backups) or are too large to want multiple copies of (CD images), or get locked/constantly modified (browser profile).
