I'm rather fond of using an imaging system (i.e. Norton/Symantec Ghost) to DVD-R or rdiff-backup to another hard drive.

I used to just concern myself with the data, then I considered how long it would take me to be up and running again if the HD crashed. In terms of my comfort level, a complete snapshot if the system is about as little as I can take. Furthermore, what if you can't find an application that you've come to rely on?
