you might also consider simply buying a spindle of DVDs and make backups (might require more than one dvd) when you do heavy sessions or whatever. DVDs are pretty cheap nowadays. Make 2. store one away from your usual computer junk at your home and the other somewhere else entirely. You didn't say what OS you are on but with Mac OS X you can create a smart folder of stuff last modified in the last x days which helps lessen the madness.
I use time machine, with back up at the end of the day. end of the week i do an extra copy to a separate external hard drive.
A band called DubTribe that had this situation. everything on one harddrive. harddrive died and an entire album among other things was lost.
The online solutions are ok but for things that truly define me I would rather they be under my responsibility as much as possible.
