>Forget having your computer stolen, what if your hard drive dies?
That's what the extended warranty is for! /s ;)
Seriously that's what I ask when told about extended warranties when buying a laptop or similar item that would store data, I ask how does an extended warranty magically make my data reappear?
Also most non-technical people I know never make a restore disk right away when they buy a new system, so if they lose the HD and the hidden partition has to only copy on it.
Anyway, Dropbox, Zumodrive, Ubuntu One, Wuala, plus an SSD RAID setup and I back up to two 1TB external drives weekly rotating them out to my office at work.
