For those of us regular household computer users a server is not too economical right now. My wife and I have very important files/folders on our two hard drives at home that we back up 3 times a year. My wife has thousands of digital and scanned pictures of our 3 kids, 52 hours of digital video thus far (all backed up on DVDs in the safe) and I have financial records and important school documents related to my teaching. If our hard drive crashed, it would truly be a crisis in our lives. Thank God for Nero. We use Nero software to perform a full system back up. Again, it is not near the efficency or productivity as a server, but for the regular household user, one can benefit grealty from this type of software. I simply tell Nero which files and folders to back up onto DVD. Right now, I am at 9 GB of data (excluding the digital video) which is two DVDs of information. If our hard drives crashes, I just have to reload Nero and then perform and system restore with the data on the DVDs. My hopes is that one day servers become as economical as computers have become over the last several years. But until then, I am sticking with Nero Back it up.
