Definitely.

And the best backup strategy is to have redundant copies, at least one
of which is off-site.

I personally use "Fossil SCM" to act as a backup system -- not only for
source-code.  It has the advantage of allowing you to see previous
versions of the same file, which can be very useful in the event your
files get corrupted (say, due to a virus).

It doesn't work well for large binary files, but you can't have
everything... for those, use scp or something similar.  Or Dropbox etc
if you have enough storage.

If you do use a cloud-system like Dropbox, encrypt your data first.

Yes, it's a bit of work.  No, you won't regret it when the hammer falls
on your data.
