M Mouse,
My system is far from perfect
but it is a reasonable compromise (I think) between security for a home system and $$ outlay.
I have three physical drives. One is system (C). One is D, E, F and G. The third (H) I use for data backups. I figure I'd be pretty unlucky to lose my data drive AND my backup as well, and if I do, c'est la vie (Gallic shrug of shoulders)
My "mission critical" stuff - work that I do at home, works in progress - is usually text based or Excel. I make floppy backups of them as I go as well as periodic backups onto the 3rd hdd. But family stuff with large files, like photo editing - well, I'm relying on not losing 2 hard drives at once!
Edited because I never get it right the first time
