I cron a job to backup key directories. Then you have tarballs you can put 
onto floppies/CDs/tapes/other servers/etc. Feel free to use the script below.

#!/bin/bash

## This file will backup the given directories in the user's home directory

## usage: backup.sh Mail .kde work programming

## Archive directory
archive_dir="$HOME/archive"

## Determine date
datestamp=$(date +%Y%m%d);

## Loop through all the directories passed
for dir in $@
do
        thisdirectory="$HOME/$dir"
        if [ -d  "$thisdirectory" ]
        then
                cd $HOME
                tar cvzf $archive_dir/${dir#\.}.$datestamp.tar.gz $dir
        fi
done
