Well the mp3's are simple. I own the CD's. Its just far more convenient 
to have the music in mp3 format.

The work database, when spat out as raw sql, actually gzips down to 
about 100mb, so I keep a "spare" copy on my ipod.

video is tough, and i really hope that none of my disks go abruptly.

as far as source trees, these i have backed up through redundancy. i 
have a mirror at work and two of my boxes here mirror eachother. my own 
personal source is less than a gig, and i keep tarballs in various 
places. the other ones (openbsd tree, linux kernel tree, various 
projects, an apple tree) are all available elsewhere should something 
bad happen.
