Backups? We don't need no stinkin' backups... :-)

I basically don't bother backing up most of that stuff. None of it is critical 
data, so I'm comfortable enough with just the RAID5 -- its just a media 
server. None of this junk is so important that I care to spend large sums of 
money to have a backup system for it (the array itself was costly enough). 
Anything I can't live without is on an entirely different server, backed up 
nightly. Though tape keeps increasing in capacity and dropping in price...
