A second hard drive could make for a good addition. Last night
I spent about two hours backing up the internal drive in my
notebook to an identical drive in a USB enclosure. If I lose
my notebook drive, I just toss in the backup and buy another
backup drive. If I lose the notebook, then maybe I find one
on Ebay and pop the disk in.

I have a backup of my external notebook drive as well to a
7200 RPM 3.5 drive in an external enclosure. I lost a partition
with Win64 on it last year and was able to recover reasonably
well with a recent backup.

The extra 100 GB notebook drive and enclosure is somewhat of
an expensive solution but I can't afford to lose the data on
my notebook. I suspect that most people really have critical
data on their systems but I'd guess that the number of people
that regularly backup their hard drives is under 10%.
