Backing up your system and design library is something everyone should be 
doing, 
I have a continious back-up being done constantly on the folders that I keep 
created data in. With a program called "Live File Back-up" it backs up all 
changes constantly .
But I also back up to DVD every month.
Why?
All magnetic media (jump drives , Hard Discs, Tape drives, ect...) are unstable 
and can potentially loose data in so many ways.
they can even degrade from just time. 

I am not saying not to use them but a single power surge can take out your 
computuer and ANY attached drives.
I know this because it has happend to us.
thankfully I had just that morning backed up to DVD.

So if the information is Improtant, Make a non magnetic backup..
not all the time but as a precaution.

Just my 2 cents for what its worth.
