Sage advice. Advice I follow with redundancy.
I back up important stuff to a "backups" directory, then /home to another 
internal drive, which is raided with another. Then to 2 external drives.

I also make DVD backups.

I lost data once, about 22 years ago. I had to start from scratch. Never 
again.
