I have several ways of addressing this. For my essential data such as documents, family photo's and the like I use my free 'ubuntu one' account to keep a copy in the cloud. and also I have a USB memory stick in the back of my server that I use rsync to keep a local copy.
For my music and movies I capitalize on the fact that my friend who lives about 130 miles from here and I have VERY similar tastes and both our media servers use rsync over SSH to keep a copy of all my movies and music on his server and vice versa. We are both with the same cable broadband ISP with 20mbs connections. At most we add a couple of movies and a CD a week to the collection, so syncing isn't a big deal. The initial sync was done by taking my server to his house and syncing across his LAN. Occasionally one of us has a movie or CD that the other doesn't like, but its a small price to pay.
Prior to having the sync set up I had a motherboard with 6 SATAII connections, with 2 logical groups defined, with 2 logical volumes (not RAID, I just relied on the fact that a disc failure in each LG simultaneously was unlikely.) I then used rsync to keep the data between the two LVs synchronized.

We are getting closer and closer to "Computer! Sir Mix-A-Lot. Baby Got Back. Make it so!"

Yeah, it seems even the internet owns an iPod now.

Because there are hundreds of sites like that out there. (Though to be fair, one of the best known ones, Imeem, got killed off by Myspace).
