I use my friends as a fail-safe backup. Multiple people have full mirrors of my media drives (total content: about 1.5tb), and they get updated every couple months with whatever my 'new' content is, on the condition they aren't allowed to delete significant portions without telling me. New stuff is backed up on the internal drive of the torrenting computer, as I like to seed for a few weeks as a bare minimum, and isn't deleted until I get a chance to copy it to one or two of my 'backups'.
If my in-house external drive ever takes a crap, I have 100% data recovery, since either my friends have a copy, or it hasn't been deleted from my 'in box' yet, so my maximum exposure is if my torrent boxes' hard drive dies, at which point I'd be out a couple weeks work at most.
