Actually I think xeltros and I are on the same page.
I agree that replaceable data doesn't necessarily have to be backed up. Though I've personally chosen to back up everything for several reasons -
(a) even the replaceable stuff can take a lot of time and labor to get back
(b) Some amount of irreplaceable stuff always gets mixed into the same folders as the replaceable stuff.
(c) There are several scenarios that require rebuilding RAID arrays from scratch, the issue with 6.1.4 lockups is only one.
In any event, despite the disk cost, I maintain 3 copies of all data at home, and also use crashplan cloud backup for disaster recovery. My main store is 13.5 TB (5x3TB+1x1.5TB single redundancy). Most of it is automated, though I manually do weekly backups of our laptops.
