I'm so glad I do regular backups to my NAS and to Carbonite.  Lots of redundancy against data loss.  I can't recommend backups more highly.  Absolutely critical these days with all the possible methods to lose access to your data if it's only on your PC.

The Backup Rule of Three:

3 copies of anything you care about - Two isn't enough if it's important.
2 different formats - Example: Dropbox+DVDs or Hard Drive+Memory Stick or CD+Crash Plan, or more
1 off-site backup - If the house burns down, how will you get your memories back?
